[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8272043, member: 27996"] Nice try. Post 3e every D&D edition has had a default setting. The default setting for 5e is the Forgotten Realms. With little snippets of lore and names of spells and deities scattered throughout the rules. So it makes sense that a consistent art direction for the core books and other material that refers to the realms have a consistent art direction to reflect the aesthetic of the setting. You make my point for me. The Dark Sun had a consistent art direction. There is no reason WOTC cannot have a consistent art direction for each 5e setting: One for the FR, and different one for Ravenloft and its domains, and one for Eberron etc.. I have never said otherwise. And was always referring to D&D settings like the Forgotten Realms in my replies. Yes the domains. Again you have done some seriously selective reading - I'm starting to think that it is intentional at this point. I have answered this issue at least twice previously in replies. Nothing wrong with each domain having a unique look to match its setting/culture. You seem to be taking the position that I am advocating one uniform look for all climates and cultures in a given setting. This is a incredibly disingenuous way to frame your responses. It is self evident from just my replies to you that this is not my position at all. Others who have chimed in on this thread that generally agree with me seem to understand what I am saying without issue. OK, your stance seems to be D&D = rule of cool. You have gone as far to say that D&D goes beyond the renaissance: And is not reflective of the real world at all: Yet when a poster asks why not jeans and baseball caps in D&D, your reply: Wait what? D&D is now Medieval-ish fantasy ?! You are certainly willing to have D&D go medieval when it suits your purposes to do so! Must be nice to have your cake and eat it too. As an American I say You are 100% right. I get the general sentiment and intent of what you are saying here. Don't pay the slightest attention to this nonsense response: They grabbed onto the faintest excuse to label you some variety of: igot-ista-phobe. There by labeling you a BadWrongFun person so that they get to dismiss anything you say out of hand. They were just looking for a reason to flounce from the discussion as the logical inconsistencies of their position, and disingenuous replies became more difficult to defend. [/QUOTE]
