Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercurius" data-source="post: 9351397" data-attributes="member: 59082">No, not like Greyhawk, which is very 70s-esque (with the Realms being more 80s-esque...and yes, I know it was conceived of as far as the 60s and developed in the 70s).I mean a setting created now, with 21st century D&D (players) in mind. I personally may not like elements of it, but it makes more sense than re-hashing and/or mutating the old. IMO.As for my quote, nice catch there. But if anything, I can use it to support my point...Greyhawk and the Realms were developed in a very different era, both drawing more from 70s sword & sorcery and early (post-Tolkien) epic fantasy. Golarion is, in many ways, a nostalgic recreation of such a setting, but with a more 00s vibe. What I'm talking about is a setting built for the 2020s and beyond - one drawing more from contemporary sources. Actually, part of the current cultural zeitgeist is postmodern-esque "drawing from everywhere"...so it could still include a region that is more classic D&D. I'd even start it out there, ala Nentir Vale. But then expand beyond with different cultural realms that are rather different.</blockquote>
