[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7165038, member: 6801228"] Did you... did you just quote yourself? Nitpick but these: Dark Sun politics, Eberron dragonmarks, Fey courts, Wizard institutions, Magic colors, Warcraft war sides, Shadowhunter factions are sides. An idealogy is far more complex than the faction you are aligned with. I may have to give you some credit for Magic the Gatherings colors... except I think those are even looser than factions or sides. They share a mechanical style, but I'm sure the ravenous undead have a different goal than the demons and the Elves have different goals than the huge beasts of the forest. Plus, then you have things like the slivers which go across a lot of colors. Also, I'm not sure I agree with your last sentence. The truth is that you are dealing with a game, and people aren't necessarily going to take things in the game world seriously. Really good players (or incredibly bad ones) might work towards a crisis of faith in a setting where the truth of the divine is unknown... but most are going to either treat it like fact or ignore it entirely. And either way they are as likely to burn the local church to the ground as to ask any questions. [/QUOTE]
