[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8076754, member: 7023840"] Putting this nicely, and reviewing your (MANY!) posts on this topic, I don't think you're going to be satisfied, because you want to argue against it. You have stated that you haven't read any of the literary antecedents that people describe to you, and have no desire to. So when people try to describe things to you, you not only have no foundation of knowledge, you don't want to, and seem to think that's okay. (I disagree). You have stated that you don't want to investigate this on your own, despite there being numerous resources (many of which are more interesting than just wikipedia). Instead, you keep demanding that people explain things to you that you can disagree with. You have stated that "tone" and such doesn't matter in any settings, because you can run what you want in any setting. You previously wrote that you can run super gritty games in Eberron and Ravnica, so it would seem that you don't really think that setting matters. Which would be odd, because if it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter for any setting. When people explain lore to you (things that they like), you argue against whatever the lore is that they provide. It's either, "Oh, all settings have that," or it's "What, how dare a setting have that!" (like in the Free City example). Maybe you don't see this ... but it does seem, well, oppositional is the nice term. It's fine- different people enjoy different things. [/QUOTE]
