That includes abusive romantic relationships, the horrors of constantly watching yourself grow old and die (Raistlin's eyes always looking at his twin withering and dying,) the challenges of being a biracial individual, slavery, and etc. Irregardless, I don't feel there's value in attempting to measure some sort of comparative harshness of a literary category.At most, it was an anecdotal perception of mine. I don't feel that it has added much in terms of progressing the overall conversation forward. I'll admit that aspects of Dragonlance can be silly. Even compared to other books I had read around the same time, it's softer in some areas. Something like Neate to the Rescue probably takes a closer look at day-to-day social issues. Dragonlance is, I think, a romantic fantasy story first and other things second.In terms of how that's handled by WoTC:I hope that the focus on interpersonal relationships is highlighted. I also hope that there's not a perceived need to find a way to shoehorn every option into every setting. I think it should be valid for the default view of a setting to be that certain things do/don't normally exist in certain worlds. A home group can certainly do whatever they want, but I feel that the best way to approach having different settings is to allow them to be different.</blockquote>
