D&D 5E Elements in a new official setting

look as far as I can tell finding men sex makes little sense, it would be like finding an explosive oil drum sexy, and I have yet to find a way to think of someone as sexy without dehumanising them into meat, maybe it simply can't be done?

Actually, I'm changing my vote. Swords and Sorcery is already too popular. Low Magic for me.

those overlap alot.

They do, which is why I was ok with S&S, but I think the Low Magic part is the more important part for me.

Survival as a theme.

sounds like you want darksun but with less magic or psionics?

Part of the symmetry is.

If men find problematic the way men are being depicted, it is probably a sign that the way women are being depicted is equally problematic.

That would be fine with me, though it doesn't specifically have to be Darksun - or have dragons in it.

Some grit would be nice, though - and no, I don't think Van Richten's supplied enough.

as far as I can tell the problem is the lack of symmetry, we do not find people looking at other men like that harmful nor have many of us ever been looked at like we are bits of meat or things to conquer that is part of the problem.

Heh, if you want to work with stereotypes. Men go for sex appeal, women go for success appeal.

If a woman is looking at a mans wallet, not at the man, that can feel dehumanizing.

The ones up to Super High Magic is in the DMG.

And not surprisingly, I didn't tick any votes for options below that because it would be pure speculation as to what I was supposedly voting for. E.g., choosing "future/space". Since I ASSUME this is for a D&D setting, am I voting for mixing fantasy with magical-as-technology, star wars-ish sci-fi, or just something like Spelljammer? Or is this a suggestion for creating a sci-fi setting for use with modified D&D rules INSTEAD of a fantasy setting that is otherwise btb? I can vote for what -I- think it means, but that isn't going to necessarily be what anyone else thinks it means.
