What if DND followed through on its original central thesis?In media literacy school, we learn that every work of art has a central thesis...Full Metal Jacket: The duality of manThe Godfather: Juxtaposition of sacred and profaneFinding Nemo: Farewell to fearJohn Wick: Paradox of finding peace with violenceCounter Strike: The military industrial complex (MIC)DND is a work of art and no exception. Its central thesis has always been... 'What if adventurers suddenly showed up in Medieval Europe?'DND never followed through this, so let's make it.Picture it now: It's Medieval Europe. A whole party of Lv1 adventurers suddenly appears... and yes they have a Thiefling Bard.If we're deconstructing this work of art, what do you think realistically happens when they try to go to dungeons in Medieval Europe? How does it answer the original central thesis?
>>97951250It's an American Fantasy Western with a coat of European Medieval paint poured all over it, and Tolkien slop that clashes with the Pulp, and Conan-like tone of D&D in general.
It's really convenient that every masterpiece can be reduced to a single theme. Imagine how complex it would be if there were multiple irreducible facets to a work. That would definitely hurt some retards' brains.
>>97951250Realistically, you'd get kicked in the balls about fifty times.

>>979512501- thats not dnds thesis, never has been, its more accurate to call it a western.2- works dont have a central thesis most of the time, that comes later when retards who are the epitome of dunning-kreuger begin talking about media
>>97951250Wrong. D&D's concept was originally exploring the characters of those wargaming minis you have on your tabletop: what were they thinking about the scenario you were putting through, why were they there? Where were they going after the scenario ends?
>>97951250>What if DND followed through on its original central thesis?>In media literacy school, we learn that every work of art has a central thesis...>lists tropes rather than thesis finish your remedial classes
The original thesis was>What if we played as the Officers from our Fantasy Wargame? That would be cool
>>97951250>In media literacy schoolMade up "school of thought" tries to justify and perpetuate its own existence by throwing out stupid ideas like >we learn that every work of art has a central thesis...You learn wrong. A work of art doesn't have to have a central thesis. Art can be created for an aesthetic, emotional, or conceptual reason devoid of a thesis or message.While I hate to help perpetuate its pointless existence, some art theorists say that any meaning in an artwork is formed by the viewer's perspective rather than by a fixed thesis established by the artist.
