[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 901543, member: 151"] I'm not sure why you and Joshua think that the Scarred Lands isn't a more traditional setting. Is it different from Greyhawk and FR? Sure. Is it really that far off the beaten path from regular D&D? As far as I've seen, not really...certainly not even as much as Oriental Adventures, for example. Ghostwalk sounds like it might be closer to what he's looking for, or something much more exotic, depending. It sounds like he's looking for something that goes in another direction beside the standard D&D tropes (and the minor changes to spellcasters in SL doesn't really seem to be where he's driving at). I'm not faulting SL as a setting...it seems to be a really good one, from what I've seen. But at the end of the day, it looks like a specific implementation of standard D&D with some interesting house-rules, such as whole wizard-heat thing. I might be misunderstanding, but I think he's tired of Vanilla, wants to know about other flavors, and you're offering him French Vanilla, instead. :) [/QUOTE]
