Plano Skywalker Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 excellent points, Yst. High Fantasy (really, you could start with Sir Thomas Mallory, or even much earlier) as in the vein of Tolkien is really all about allegorical commentary and, hence, it uses archtypes. But unless you are really trying to say something specific, archtypes easily become stereotypes and it just becomes pointless in a controlled medium as you say, such as the CRPG. stereotypical is fine, as you say, with PNP roleplaying since it makes it easier for the players to interact but, in a more controlled environment, the designers have too much of a crutch. that is why I think Dragonlance would be good...it may or may not be up there with Tolkien, but it is definitely high epic, romantic fantasy that goes somewhere specific. anyway, I like the trend toward space adventure and other alternate settings in CRPGs.
