This was in response to the claims that the setting cannot be something new because it has dinosaurs and pirates. I'm just saying that the feel or the 'whole' of the setting might very well be something new, and it would be surprising if WotC had spent 100+K$ dollars on something that has been done before.Think about it. If the setting has been already seen in another form and name, they could've just bought the rights with 100K$. RPG properties aren't that expensive, sans the major ones. And Eberron won't be a rip-off of a major fantasy world because the backlash would be just too great. I haven't. I've seen many worlds threatened by evil but those where the evil has already won and the PCs can't do nothing about it? .. doesn't come to mind. Could you cite some examples? Because my point kinda was that Midnight is an example taking the cliched fantasy elements and rolling them into something intresting and fresh, counter to the claims that elements we've seen before (dinos & air pirates) make for a setting that we've already seen.</blockquote>
