[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 276618, member: 2067"] I'm all for historical flavor, but I *loathe* it when people try to emulate history with any semblance of accuracy. Basically, I put the D&D archetypes through the wringer, get rid of alignment restrictions for the classes, and pull them out the other side changed and better for it. Who says that Athens and Sparta can't be Elves and Dwarves? :) Who says Wizards can't exist in, say Christianized Europe? I just take the abilities, and cast them in a likely analogue, or just think about what would happen with the various racial cultures in the various time periods. I like the idea of "D&D with Zeus and Ares." I don't like the idea of "It's Greece, but with some rare magic that you can't use!" [/QUOTE]
