D&D PLAYER: "What the hell? This doesn't look like Dungeons & Dragons!" CULTURE WARRIOR: "Why? You have a problem with black women?" ME, WHO DID MORE RESEARCH THAN EITHER OF THEM: "Um...those women are Latina; the adventure is explicitly based on Dia de Los Meurtos. You're both morons." 🙄
And it knocks me out, too; I thought she looked like Carla from "Scrubs" from the start. I knew she was Latina.
So... it's more like a D20 Modern 5th edition? I don't know either way. This is literally the first I've heard of it.
I actually don't know when it takes place; I haven't played the module. But I did look at other artwork for it, and this ticks WAY more of the right boxes to be immediately identifiable as fantasy...
Yup, that's fantasy. Looks more like D20 Modern Urban Arcana now.
I know it's set in a fictional country that's an analogue of Mexico; I remember that much off the top of my head. But no time period was mentioned. The image in the OP does look modern, especially the shoe she's holding, so you might have a point.
It's still D&D to me. I've run some crazy campaigns with the D&D system that wouldn't fall under the high fantasy genre. The picture kind of makes me want to play it. The dancing skeletons have me wondering if they made them intelligent. I want to sing "Spooky, Scary, Skeletons" with them.
Totally fair. I was just dealing with some people who apparently wanted to pick a fight, is all, and they were both wrong. I thought it was funny.
