I’ve never been interested in Downton Abbey but I’d never suggest to its fans that it would be a lot cooler with spaceships and bikini-babes on motorcycles.You’re totally right, Downton Abbey should definitely have some bikini-babes on motorcycles and probably some cyborg-ninja-zombies in the next series, because the thing about setting lore is that it can, and should, evolve.Just because Downton Abbey didn’t have starships and samurais in the past doesn’t mean there couldn’t be some new season or movie in which the events lead to the abbey being nuked by cyborg-ninja-zombies.They’d probably use their starships to physically tractor-beam the abbey to downtown London so that the name isn’t confusing to new viewers who were bored until we added the cool new bikini-babes on motorcycles.I mean, instead of insulting people who liked a setting the way the it was, you could acknowledge that maybe WotC should just make some new settings instead of bastardizing existing ones into the ground.I truly don’t care if you think the banneret is “too boring” for you. Why does every element of a well-established setting need to be tweaked to impress you? It was worth blowing up that playtest just to preserve an aspect of FR.Purple dragon aren't even the same thing as amethyst dragons in FR anyway, btw.</blockquote>
