[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2971064, member: 16989"] 1. If you agree to play a "We're all Baby Dragons" and are surprised when you (I'm guessing you all played different colors) all 'hatch' and have no Adult Dragons around, you don't really get it. Having a 'parent' of sufficent age category (Young Adult at the youngest) means it's almost impossible to have a game. Unless you like 'Sitting in the corner becasue we tried to have an adventure and mommy caught us' as the primary award at the end of every session. He should have at least sat through a session or two before storming out. 2. Gnolls are USUALLY Chaotic Evil. That means there are a lot of non-Chaotic Evil ones running around. In fact, there are more (aggregate) non-Chaotic Evil Gnolls than Chaotic Evil Ones. Sure a Lawful Good is pretty rare, but a CN or N would be fairly common. A NG or CG would happen along more often than you would think. As far as 3.X is concerned Gnolls are NOT always man-eating bastards. 3. I hate the old "You start out as slaves" bit, but one of the best games I ever played in began that way. If we are going to compare gaming to relationships.... This is more like: "Hey I know this girl, Becky" "Becky, can't stand her. She's a bookish nerd" "Umm, have you met her?" "Yep, talked to her for 30 seconds once. That's all I needed to know" "Fine, I guess I'll go tell her she should go ahead and take her shift at the Strip Club after all." This seems to be more about not wanting to even give anything new a chance, rather than being whinny or anything. He likes it one way (like how some people always play Elven Bards or Human Paladins). That's OK. If he doesn't want to play anything different, let it be. IF you are going to be playing a 'Classic' (however he defines that) game then invite him. If not let him be. You might talk to him about non-standard games and try to get him to come to 3-4 sessions before changing his mind. He might really end up loving it. Or he might not. [/QUOTE]
