@onlyonepinman I think that the appropriation might be in the writing of the books for a game played by white males. I could rant but I’ll throttle back on it. Its a game and I’m glad for the campaign settings. I was first introduced to D&D by seeing a copy of Oriental Adventures and just looking at the pictures.

@mecha82 Planescape is something that might well be worth the revisit. I loved DiTerlizzi’s art and was glad to see him do the covers for the 2nd ed. Changeling kith books.

@koraski Just like Gobbo said Kara Tur was D&D and Rokugan was for L5R. A d20 engine for the former while the latter started as a roll and keep d10 system that changed with time when AEG went belly up. The current incarnation of L5R looks amazing but seems to have gone the same route as the latest version of Star Wars with proprietary dice. Its interesting to see the changes that good gaming systems worthy  of some time to look over go through.

@gobbo The last time I looked at the phlogiston filled expanse of space was when I owned volume 2  of the Encyclopedia Magica from TSR. Definitely an interesting thought on travel between worlds but I’d go to Planescape to randomly bandy about the planes.

@mage Agreed. Some Arabian Nights would be interesting to look into. I’ll have to read up on the setting.
