[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8073112, member: 11760"] I don't disagree. And I agree that sometimes it's hard to put down into words where differences in feel come from -- I love early 1980s British fantasy settings, like the old White Dwarf magazine, the original Fighting Fantasy books or TSR UK's own Imagine magazine, along with the U and UK series of AD&D modules. If you put a gun to my head, I don't think I put my finger on what differentiates them from American fantasy works of the same period, but even if you covered up the amazing UK artists' illustrations, I could still pick them out. That said, I can't imagine anyone is ever going to cater to my tastes (and those of a bunch of old British roleplayers) by putting out such a setting any time soon. (Although there's a retroclone of that era, called Warlock, on DriveThruRPG I may eventually break down and get.) I think there's an excellent chance we'll get a Ghosts of Saltmarsh-style book representing and expanding the Slavers series, which would likely serve as a Pomarj gazetteer. Not as good as a full setting for those who want that, but I'd argue it would be pretty close to a very representative take on the setting. [/QUOTE]
