[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 7080744, member: 771"] The thing is that the game [I]can be[/I] way less serious than he thinks, but it doesn't have to be. Sure, genre crossovers can be fun once in a while, but not every campaign needs to be a giant kitchen sink. Whether or not Gygax etc. had sci-fi and Old West elements in his home game, doesn't mean that it is a good fit for every other game. Even though it is fantasy based doesn't mean that it can't be played with a little verisimilitude and internal consistency if desired. Every group should be free to play the game that feels right to them, from one extreme to another or anywhere in the middle. I'm glad I started the thread, it has been interesting, and doubly so because I mostly see it on my phone where the poll doesn't even appear, so I keep forgetting that there are still results coming in. Seems like the majority are definitely pretty welcoming off just about whatever, but there are still significant percentages that feel differently. [/QUOTE]
