[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 7665416, member: 5046"] I imagine a world someday where we don't toss a group of people under the bus as having a "lack of romance and politics". Or what about "I find it sad to think that there are enough people in the world with a lack of conflict and adventure that we can support an RPG based on imagining them..." Let's start with your original supposition. "Imagining a life you couldn't otherwise live" Excellent. So, can I otherwise live these? [LIST] [*]Playing a sentient animal who is a spy for the White Witch, watching the human lands to ensure policies don't ruin the untouched north... [*]Playing a courtier in a "medieval realm" castle surrounded by fellow courtiers from the Elven, Dwarven, Orcish and Gnomish lands... [*](as a hetero-male) playing a homosexual lover to the Prince who is constantly harried by his evil uncle who wants to usurp the throne... [/LIST] I mean. The list goes on and on. Fantasy is fantasy. Maybe I like to insert a little political or romantic themes into the mix? When I fantasize about make-believe I don't want to jump head first into current headlines (they already hurt my soul). I want to escape. And you may have a perfect romantic life, but maybe some of us want to fantasize about other romantic possibilities? You may not want to (or see the "need" to... whatever that word is doing in our discussion about hobby happy times...) play Blue Rose, but can't those of us who might be interested have the game?
