[QUOTE="Kaptain_Kantrip, post: 168547, member: 546"] I for one am sick of all these high fantasy munchkin settings and adventures coming out from just about every d20 publisher. I am dying to see something gritty, like Lankhmar for d20. No races except humans! No stupid elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, etc.! Maybe some orcs. No cities that float through the clouds, the sea or outer space! No dragons or other giant uber-monsters! Very few monsters of any kind, if any. Perhaps a few unique creatures. No easy access to magic spells or items! No polytheistic pantheons of billions of gods! A place where you can get by with mundane armor and equipment your whole life. No DR/+1 monsters or better... or your PC is pretty much dead! A place where you cannot come back from the dead without selling your soul to the Devil or some such evil power! A place where you cannot get magical healing and combat is deadly and to be avoided! Where, oh where, are the settings, sourcebooks, and adventures like this? Am I the only one tired of FR style games? I'm not saying don't make the other kind, but for gosh sakes, how about giving us a choice? As it is, I have to go through everything I buy and cross out every reference to "legions of gnomes" and "Happy Hairfoot the halfling thief" and "I'll raise you from the dead for 500 gold pieces!" Some company please help me... AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!! :mad: [/QUOTE]
