[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 380215, member: 363"] No, untrue. I've been a fan of 3e art from the beginning. First, the only source for what something was like in Tolkien's world would be Tolkien himself (by the way, check the link in my sig - I think that shows how much of a Tolkien fan I (and many others) happen to me). I've never seen any artwork in which he depicts the armor of his world. Yes, it would likely have resembled armor in the real world, but what does that prove? A typical D&D world would have many more huge monsters that would be inclined to grab a person, necessitating things like spikes on armor. It's a fantasy game, not a historical simulation. I think it's even more realistic to suppose that a world that has dealt with magic and monsters its entire history would develop new and different things. How realistic is it to suppose that armor or, for example, castles (vulnerable from the air and to all manner of magic) would remain the same as in Medieval Europe? This is nonsense. You are simply listening to people who came to these boards, acted rudely and aggressively, then ran away when they found people would vigorously defend their own views rather than instantly and slavishly kow-tow to them. Also, you post to a thread started by one of the 3e artists after he posts that he was laid off, slam 3e artwork, and then say that you aren't slamming that artist. It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to have the social skill to voice it in the correct context. It's very clear you aren't speaking from your own experience in this. You also don't seem to see the irony of what you're saying - you insult someone, then complain when people disagree with your opinion. Now, am I "shouting you down" because of your "dissenting opinion," or am I simply vigorously disagreeing? [/QUOTE]
