It's simply impossible for us to step outside our worldview. This is true of historians too. I feel the recent view of the population collapse in Easter Island as eco-parable rather than race war is a good example of our inability to see the past through anything other than our modern perspective.That being the case I have no problem with fantasy worlds full of environmentalism, religious fundamentalists and girl power. These ideas are far more important to us than feudalism and crop rotation.PS When you consider the period in which D&D was created, it's pretty clear druids *are* hippies.</blockquote>
