[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8381282, member: 7032025"] No one is coercing you. You can do whatever you like with your own games and your myths. And I happen to like norse legends, but to also like Lord of the Rings, as it's the first fantasy book that I've ever read, and I've been playing D&D and any roleplaying game ever since, met my wife at a LARP, raised my daughters around this love of fantasy, and yesterday evening I had a skype with my three daughters from around the world and we talked about fantasy and what we think is going to happen in the next Sanderson books. But now, contrary to you who are not coerced into anything, some people come and tell me that I'm wrong and a bad person, culpable of terrible things for liking Tolkien elves and orcs as they are (yes, I love orcs too, they are part of that myth as every myth needs villains, and the better the villains, the better the myth). That is being coerced, so that you know the difference. No one is knocking on your door and telling you off for liking YOUR legends. And when I play, I like my fantasy races to be like they are in my memories, with their special powers but also their ASIs, because this help making sure that these fantasy races resemble those of one of my favourite myth. So will you please stop coercing me ? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
