  • Awesome Art: Especially noticeable in the work of the cover artist for both First and Second Edition, Stephanie Pui-mun Law. Her whimsical watercolor style goes a long way to portray the Romantic Fantasy roots of the game.
  • Broken Base: Even among the fandom, the Golden Hart was a divisive element (while being a rallying point for detractors of the game). Many players felt that the idea of divine right undermined the idea of Aldis as a Utopia whose morality they expected to agree with. 2e both tried to answer that by stating that the Golden Hart was actually a psychic manifestation of the will of the people, and that it might be dead and not matter anymore. This just broke things again in a different direction.
  • Fan Nickname: "Venisonocracy" or "Cervidocracy" for the Golden Hart choosing the Aldin monarch. This was originally an insult from people who didn't like that aspect of the setting, but it's also been playfully taken up by fans who like the plot element.
  • LGBT Fanbase: The dev team's insistence on including Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual (and as of Second Edition) Transgender and Queer characters has been noted and celebrated among that community across the internet.
  • Retroactive Recognition: The first edition was the first RPG work of one Jeremy Crawford, who went on to be a major player in Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition.
