[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6423057, member: 67338"] in general my answer "Ok, but with a twist" especially given the idea that it's at a gameday or for all new players in your home or at one of the player's homes. this is a chance to goof off and have some fun. I would probably be less forgiving of the second one in a home ongoing game... Well first before I answer, just to be fair, and give full disclosure, I hate Elminster, with a passion. He is the #1 example I give of what is wrong with the FR setting... ok having said that. My answer is "No, Elminster isn't sitting there, how about we have a non stupid campaign wrecking mary sue setting destroyer instead... how about Phalaris the female 1/2 elf bard level 5 "chosen of Mystra" (in my eyes meaning she has silver fire and sr and that's it) who can play the same role" if the player agrees, then she stands and says "(Insert character name here) what are you running from?" and keep going from there. ok, slightly different, same idea "Sorry, I don't like alien/advance tech laying around like that, how about we put a horse and carriage there instead... wait no, hippogriffs and a winged carriage" then I would totally steal an idea from GTA and run with it. may I ask how you would handle each?
