>Oh look, this is another "medieval" fantasy setting that is not medieval and is completely generated
I'm not mad that you created yout own setting, just stop using the wrong term. Call it pop fantasy and everything will be fine.

That's what mad people would say.

True. It is amusing how many settings are "medieval" when in reality most are renaissance or early modern just without guns. I guess people aren't that familiar with feudal structures and it is difficult to wrap one's mind to a pre-modern state era, when things were messier or done very differently.

Who are you quoting, and whoever it was, did he actually call his setting medieval or did you just decide on your own that it was trying and failing to be medieval? In my experience, the latter is pretty common when people around here complain about "medieval" settings.

I've hardly seen anyone describe their own setting as "medieval".
>>
>>97893597
I just call my works fantasy, because they're a product of imagining things that are impossible and improbable, whether it's futuristic, in space, cyberspace, or otherwise.
It just makes things easier, because that's what fantasy means. I don't care what people who wanted to seem different in a saturated book market want to call it, nor do I care what the mindless sheep taken in by their grift call it.

This is because people think D&D is a historically-grounded medieval setting, just with fantasy elements.

... what?

I don't use unfamiliar settings when playing with Americans.

I'm sure someone thinks that. I don't think that very many people do, though.

It used to try harder to be more grounded, but that doesn't count for much. "Chainmail" was probably the most grounded of all of them, if you count that as a sort of "D&D 0e" or a prototype.

I have, but not since the 90's.

you say this OP, but some anon is desperately stopping himself from writing a 10-post essay about how your very use of the term 'medieval' is incorrect.

Your unwarranted elitism is pointless. If a setting has swords and horses and kings and knights, it's medieval. It's useful to call it that because 99% of people will instantly understand what you mean from that one word.
