This is why I cannot get behind just 3, especially within the western fantasy tradition that is D&D. Moorecock is absolutely part of that tradition.

Good vs Evil
Law vs Chaos

I dont think Neutral needs to be a thing if I think about it.

I figure the best solution is just heaven versus Hell -- and not really in a "Good versus Evil" way. Rather, they are the powers on which the fate of the world rests and they are at war. Humans might think of Heaven as Good and Hell as Evil but that's just a mad attempt to make sense of a struggle so far beyond mankind it can't really be measured. Sort of the way Diablo looks at it.

The fact people cannot get past certain arguments or views on alignment will likely always be weird to me.

"Its a straight jacket!" said the person wrong on alignment a million times.

Many a dramatic narrative have I found within the dice cups of Yahtzee!

Especially when the dice are set aside and those cups are repeatedly filled with fine Scotch...

I have never tried scotch. I don't even think it's ever been offered to me.

Same here; I was just trying to come up with a commonly-referenced drink most people could relate to...

Gnomes are like pineapple on pizza. Amazing, and should be present as much as possible.

And the game overall and it's community would be way, way better if alignment was never invented.

If alignment was presented as factions to begin with, we would have to argue about something marginally less pointless than what alignment character X is.

If fantasy was criticized with the rigor science fiction is criticized, it would collapse.

But at the same time, in 40 years of play witnessing dozens and dozens of players, I'd guess 80% of all players can only play themselves.

I wouldn’t say that, exactly, but I definitely know players who play humans preferentially, and balk at campaigns and games that exclude them.

They may not play a human PC EVERY time, but they always want that option.
