[QUOTE="Nai_Calus, post: 4894974, member: 79670"] Right, Dark Sun should stay just the way it is, lest we have a repeat of the godawfulness that was 4e FR. (Which is fit only to swipe the Swordmage class, Drow and Genasi from and not for using at all.) (Besides, if any kind of decent astral realm existed in the astral sea were it included, I can see a lot of characters saying screw it to the world and just settling down, heh. Not what the setting needs if it's going to keep its feel.) But the difference can be marketed without pooh-poohing traditional fantasy in the ad copy, is what I'm saying, or in the forum posting. ;) It's the 'traditional fantasy sucks and is boring, give me something different!' angle that annoys me. I might be otherwise irked that they're releasing two settings in a row I don't like, but I can deal with that and shrug it off. It's the 'if you don't like it what's wrong with you' and the 'traditional fantasy is a tired old cliche' that I see so often that really puts me off. It's a knee-jerk reaction. I probably would have been wary about Planescape if someone had gone on about how it was awesome because it was different than boring old lame trad. fantasy. Saying it's different is enough. :p [/QUOTE]
