[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4366221, member: 54846"] As a general update, I sent this email last night: [sblock]Hey, I want to warn you about something. I am not certain you will enjoy the game I would like to run. The reason I say this is because you seem like a guy who Really Liked 1e/2e. You said you are Old School and Hate Eberron.

I'm not using the Eberron setting, but a few aspects (one or two of the religions, a few of the races) I actually like. The way I want to handle Warforged is this: Dwarves used to exist. They were cursed, unable to continue reproducing. What they did instead was create an artificial body that could house their soul, allowing them to continue to "live". Not only could they "live", but continue to repopulate themselves.
