[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1568529, member: 13654"] In truth I don't think I truly understand the poll question. What do you mean by integrate? If it's a new setting, doesn't it by default NOT integrate with old settings but instead stand on its own? Are you asking for a choice of whether alignment rules should integrate into ANY campaign setting or if it's "okay" to create new worlds without reference to alignment? I chose the last option on the poll because it's the closest to a sensible answer I can derive given the vagueness and confusion of the poll itself. A DM (or by extenstion the person designing the new world/setting) should be the one to ultimately make the decision of whether alignments should be part of it. One other thing - do NOT make the foolish mistake of seeing a few vocal objections and assuming it is representational of any truly significant portion of gamers. A FEW people object to alignments. When they do they tend to be VERY put off by them and very vocal about it. They do not constitute a group that could be called "many". You see a lot of people advocating 1E or OD&D (even 2E) as well, often very loudly or incessantly (see Diaglo), but it doesn't make them a truly meaningful cross section of players as a whole.
