[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7796658, member: 6804070"] I was/am one of those folks. Because I simple didn't understand all of what you wrote. But then again, was this actually detailed anywhere? Decades later you have this great explanation for alignment languages, but at the time, when I was a pre-teen, where was all this explanation for what alignment languages where? So... not a language but a vocabulary? So not really useful except is some very specific role playing contexts that murder hobos never encountered? [I]g[/I] You're not selling me on the usefulness of alignment languages anymore :) Wait, doesn't this fly in the face of the essay linked earlier about what made GH different from FR? I thought the characters were the "doers" and that the gods were not puppet masters in GH... Again, some of us were pretty childish when introduced to GH and alignment languages and such inferences were well beyond our capabilities. And even now I wonder the value. I mean I can see and understand all of what you have written and it makes sense, but I still don't see a use for it unless you are in a world where the gods are all powerful and the characters are just puppets of the various gods' wills...
