I feel like I can actually relate to the characters in Brimstone Angels with actual mundane concerns than running through bragging about achieving epic level loot and powers.* I just watched a review of Pixels, which claimed that the movie was getting such terrible reviews not just because it was a bad movie, but also because it never grew up.  The writers were stuck in some kind of crappy, same unevolving humor that Adam Sandler had in his movies since the early 90s, like society hasn't changed since then.  I think the same thing applies here.  The style of writing hasn't adapted to modern society.  Its locked in the past.** Despite being a funky nature cleric / evoker wizard hybrid, Cattibrie is actually pretty low level compared to the others.  Everyone else is displaying epic level abilities, while Cattibrie's still stuck with Fireballs and Lightning bolts.  I don't think I saw her cast anything approaching a level 6 spell.   There was just a graphic novel release about Cutter and the half-drow, half-wood elf that ended up with it.  Characters were drawn from the Drizz't storyline, but so were Jarlaxle and Artemis.  So, this is not quite true.</blockquote>
