[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7801932, member: 6895991"] Yea we sometimes are a bit to fanatic on all this stuff, because we all love the game and some like these elements to be at least manageable with their homebrew adaption. But my personal experience showed me that more often than not players are not very versatile in some lore anyway, sometimes not even if they mastered a campaign in this world themselves but it is so far in the past that they have forgotten stuff already. Baldur's Gate is cool and I love it and the campaign aka 3 part crpg is the measure for other stuff like this. Yet, can you imagine how hard it would be and how much player investment it would require to play the Baldurs gate campaign tabletop with one or more players being the offspring of Bhaal, but without knowing the CRPG? I think this would be easiest if all players where Bhaalspawn in such a campaign. Let us stay a moment, this example is good to demonstrate something else: Were only one char the bhaalspawn he would be the only one at the table getting the goodies aka spell like abilities depending on his actions. A typical modern player not versatile with any of the CRPG would eventually cry that things getting out of balance or the DM being unfair by only giving one char the extra powers. Only in that some players would know the scenario from the crpg or be very mature and total into teamplay the original scenario would be accepted in a table top game. [/QUOTE]
