[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8421650, member: 6796468"] His name is practically -designed- to trigger little kids linguistic serotonin button. His name is in Iambic Pentameter. His last name is, in fact, a Trochee, just like Fizban's name. Wait... -I- see the problem, here. I don't think they should shift the tone. I think they should market the setting to kids. The setting -as it exists- is incredibly kid-friendly. Yeah, there's bad stuff in the setting. That's important to set the right tone. But the overall tone? 100% Kid Friendly. I would -happily- hand Dragons of Autumn Twilight to an 8 year old. It's how old I was when I read it. Like still write the children's book about a girl finding a dragon and going all "How to Train Your Dragon" and stuff. Make it hit harder by having the dragon be a Blue or a Green and the kid grow up to be a Dragonlord. But the setting itself? Just hand it to young D&D players as their intro to the game. They don't -have- to play Sturm or Kitiara or Flint. They play in the world of the War of the Lance, with black and white morality by and large, easily identified good and evil dragons, and things like that. Eh. Whether they mention it or not, it'll still be canonically connected. And we all have to live with that -dirty- feeling... Or not, for those of us who don't feel it. [/QUOTE]
