[QUOTE="Blustar, post: 3030573, member: 34486"] Yeah, maybe I came across a little too strong, so sorry... Adventures like Lost City of BArakus, Caverns of Thracia, Rappan Athuk, Dungeon Crawl Classics, etc...Not to mention OGL games like Conan or Grim Tales, whose whole schtick is S&S low magic settings. I think it's proven that "1ed feel" can be done well with 3.x. I enjoy playing OAD&D and still do, I just find it odd to state the new edition is anti-Sword & Sorcery. That's only true if you want it to be but not because of lack of material to choose from. I just get the feeling that you were saying "we can whore and butcher and storm eldritch abandoned towers" only with the 1ed crowd. (like they have a monolpoly on wenching) Ptolus, the epitome of 3.x is hardly a Good vs. Evil setting. Is Eberron? I've never read it before. Whatever, I guess I jumped the gun, so I apologize. Blue Ps- As for being the Elf police :D I just think that Elves are never roleplayed properly by players. If I didn't glance at the character sheets I would never know they were Elves. (until a sleep spell is cast on us) Yes I'm a Tolkien fan but I do appreciate other variants and fey elves ala folklore and other authors like Anderson, Dunsany, etc...I still like that they are in the game I just wish they were handled different. (all this is just my opinion) There's nothing nice about Elves in most literature I'm familiar with so that's probably the disconnect. (Normally they're dangerous, mysterious, immortal, inhuman, powerful, vengeful etc...) [/QUOTE]
