Wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same!

I do acknowledge the superficiality of my comment, and the thrust of yours and Otaku-Sempai's views. I still hold to my views though as an "impression". Perhaps what I mean for example is that modern authors wouldn't even risk persons of a different skin colour being seen as anything like evil, kingly blood being able to cure people, or even something close to a "servant/master" relationship between key characters. It's also a reflection perhaps on how much UK society has changed in the past 15 years or so.

Do agree that TOR is immensely respectful of the source material and is a fab system.
