I know that fantasy based (to varying degrees) on medieval Europe was a huge part of my childhood. I am a voracious reader and I pretty much cleaned out the fantasy section of my local public library. D&D is a chance to take a lot of what I love about some of those books and insert myself into it. It's a pretty hard hitting melange of nostagia, escapism, and storytelling for me. I don't get the same rush from Aztec settings, or Arabian settings, as cool as both of those are. Part of the reason is that I know far less about them and don't have that enormously deep well of imagery to fill in the blanks the same way I do with more traditional NE fantasy themes. All the fantasy books I have every read add to my enjoyment of TTRPG play because they help form a hazy backdrop that the main action plays out against.I enjoy Space Opera, Cyberpunk, Mythos, and Noir themed games for similar reasons.</blockquote>
