[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9731999, member: 18"] If WotC puts out a Dark Sun that is mostly about: A) Fighting ultra-oppressive billionaire/dictator-type badguys (which is exactly what Dark Sun is about) and B) Anthropogenic climate change (or dracoanthropogenic lol) In the current US political climate (which we obviously cannot discuss lol), even if they cut all the slavery and so on, that would genuinely increase my respect for them a bit. My expectation is [I]much[/I] lower than that. My expectation is they tone down the setting way, way, way beyond anything we've imagined. And it'll basically just be a game that's kinda desert planetary romance themed, but where there are good guy and bad guy cities, where the bad guys are not all "oppressive dictator" types, but a diverse and yet extremely cowardly-ly designed bunch of generic-ish evildoers (one of whom will be a slaver, but not the rest, so they can say "We mentioned slavery, we said it was bad!!!"). And that the climate-change being caused primarily by the exact people who are in charge and the sort of people like them? Oh that'll be gone, it's be a vague "magical disaster" which sorta-loosely-implicates maybe some of the bad guys, but doesn't hard-connect them. < pukes extensively > [/QUOTE]
