[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7742690, member: 92239"] I hear you Jay, I really do. That said, the medium where things get published has a lot to do with whether or not things are appropriate for mass distribution or more for the flavor of a personal campaign only. Back in the day if a sourcebook had cthulu in it or some meso-american stuff, and it didn't have norse or arthurian stuff in it, I wouldn't have bought it as it didn't map to what I wanted and wouldn't have vibed with my players unless I reskinned it. So you get sourcebooks with cool lesser known stuff thrown in with better known stuff and it sells. On a web site where the goal is trying to get the widest level of appeal and stuff is packaged in one article for one personage, it's likely that I'm going to consider it strange if we start getting things the majority have never heard of or considered chatting about. There's a place for that certainly, but I'm not sure I expect it to be here, instead of your table when you find a cool story and decide to tell it your way with your statting of the personage. Each their own. I'm not stumping for inclusion or exclusion, but the more obscure the object of the article the longer the article is going to need to be for anyone to be able to determine whether or not the statting fits their needs. (Add a section on the story behind the object, the myth etc.) Folks need to feel they understand the story first. [/QUOTE]
