I like that modern DnD has moved beyond just "high medieval western europe" for its inspiration, but now its aesthetic is just, like, a vaguely realistic-ish hodgepodge of pre-gunpowder stuff.
I do like that the new DnD 5e book has a monk subclass that just like... lets you have a dbz aura and shoot ki blasts.
It's all sun-themed BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, GAME.
