[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4117377, member: 56189"] I went to quote a few people and then after reading thoroughly through their quotes, realised they'd said everything I want to say. So I'll just say I agree with Brother MacLaren, Eric Noah & Ydars. They summed up my feelings the best. The metasetting is irrelevant to a person's game because everything about it is optional. There is nothing in 4e stopping you from having dryads as beautiful forest spirits, evil chromatic dragons, good metallic dragons, lawful good paladins, gnomes, bards, the planes using the Great Wheel cosmology or anything else that isn't hard-wired into the rules system. If you were saying that Vancian magic was your sunlight, flowers and joy, then maybe you'd have a point since that is a hard-wired rules change in 4e which does affect the flavour of a person's game. Even then, though, it has been stated that building your own character classes or even making a classless system is entirely possible with the infrastructure of the new rules. So... make a Vancian-style class. Point is, fluff doesn't dictate your style of play. [/QUOTE]
