Classic characters--would they work in your game?

[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 1183215, member: 1288"] Been thinking about the whole "Warduke in Dungeon" thing, and how cool it is that they're bringing him back--with stats, no less. But I was wondering, how many of you would actually use him? Obviously, it's not a big deal if your players aren't old-school enough to recognize the character. But if they are, if you've got fond memories of the toys, or the cartoon, or what have you... Would you be able to take it seriously? Could you accept the presence of Warduke without it throwing off your suspension of disbelief? Or would there be too much of "Oh, I remember him!" or "I can't believe you actually use him!" or "Man, since when is Warduke a {Insert name of world/campign here} character?" This came to mind when I was trying to decide if I'd be able to use him at any point in the future, and it occurred to me that I honestly didn't know if I could. Certainly not in my current campaign--his style doesn't mesh with the world, or at least the story--but I'd like to at some point. I just dunno if my players could take it seriously... [/QUOTE]
