[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 1508054, member: 5202"] You're right I do heh. Sadly i'll be running not playing it soon. Tossing out staples is one of the reasons why I want it run. (All the following comments IMO of course) And apologies to Monty Python. Rule 1 No Alignments Rule 2 Better magic system Rule 3 No Alignments Rule 4 Only Humans cross over from the PHB Races/Classes Rule 5 No Alignments Rule 6 There is NOOOOO Rule 6 Rule 7 No Alignments Or in Fight Club, the first 2 rules would be about not talking about alignments *grin* Oh and whoever was complaining about Monte's rant against alignments...so what? He had a personal opinion that he expressed. I'm sure everyone has their own viewpoint on any number of topics and had something come up in the game that they refuse to ever utilize again. For some folks its alignments. For some its gnomes or kender or 3.5 whips. Not buying perfectly good product for a personal opinion about 1 aspect of the SRD which isn't required for ANY game is just silly to me. Besides, the way alignment has always been traditionally written (ie prior to 3E and even still in 3E) it is pretty easy to have it come across as something you need to shoehorn yourself into rather than something that is malleable at all. I've understood alignment for along time and decided against it long ago as well. Robert Fripp (King Crimson, Brian Eno, David Bowie and solo guitarist) ahs said that before you can break the rules of guitar you must first understand them. if you ever listen to his music he surely gives said rules a beating if not an outright breaking. In short, use alignments if you desire and buy material because its good solid material. Don't avoid it b/c the author had a small rant against alignments, which I'm assuming isn't on his page as it's not in the The Rants archive section. Source so we can read it? Don't doubt he ranted on it, just wanna see why it was so inflamatory. Hagen [/QUOTE]
