[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 5789088, member: 6182"] Steel Wind, you make a very interesting point.. something LIKE DragonLance... I know it won't happen, due to the nature of RPG fantasy publishing, but it would be rather interesting if there was a setting-search-via-novels. Some method to learn what STORIES really grab player interest, but bound more or less by D&D rules. This happens often enough with other RPGs, in a way - so many new RPGs pop up based on novels, films, video games, and war games. D&D itself was inspired by novels and movies and so forth, but is still feeding off of those inspirations and incorporating precious few new ones. Indeed, the only contemporary story inspiration I know of in 4E is the hint of a monk subclass in the new Elemental Chaos book based somewhat on Avatar: The Last Airbender. I just hope that, if they ever do make a new story for D&D, the spotlight isn't mostly on wizards again. [/QUOTE]
