Yup, I think that gates established pre-play and justified by the internal logic of the setting generally escape the gravity of... -
If we are going to really make this a 1960s pastiche I'm surprised you are all focusing on the technology. FR is insanely sex positive...

TwoSix replied to the thread D&D General [+] More Robust 'Fantasy Race' Mechanics for D&D-alikes / Redeeming 'Race as Class' for Modern D&D [+].One idea I've toyed with over the years is for a system where every character makes two major selections; their race, which grants them...
