[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 9239678, member: 12731"] Thank you for this. While Conan is important to [I]me[/I], I think Howard's influence over D&D is small, especially today. Personally I don't mind a fleshy grotesquely unequal world, and in fact, [I]this is what draws me to S&S[/I]. If I want to play in a world with equal opportunity, I can go for a bog-standard D&D world that (comparatively speaking) is Disney-levels of sanitized. If you like to use D&D like games for Sword & Sorcery gaming, 5th Edition is in some ways better than previous editions (talking about AD&D and 3E here), but still not my ideal choice. My latest campaign used the DCC rules in the world of Xoth. The DCC ruleset is wonderful in some regards, but too fiddly in others. The best thing about the DCC ruleset is the basic fact that its existence made all the wonderful adventures in the DCC lineup possible (the 3E and 4E adventures in the DCC lineup are much much weaker).
