[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 2583706, member: 5143"] Actually, I see this more as the feeling that comes natually out of the rules. The game can lean in certain way, but I generally assume a world where all the options in all the books exist in some way, shape or form and try to imagine what that looks like, what that feels like. Rather than try to come up with a world and then force the rules to adhere to what that world might be like, I let the rules decide the feeling and tone of the setting. What is possible in this world? Just look at the options. Thus, I don't feel it's my place to try to force the rules into a different tone or setting when they create their own so nicely. Honestly, I've looked at changing the rules so they fit different types of fantasy settings before. I realized how much work it would take and thought better of it. If I was going to try to run one of these settings, as I've said before, I'd choose a system more capable of being changed easily or more generic, like GURPS or HERO or even BESM. [/QUOTE]
