[QUOTE="diaglo, post: 1496655, member: 2885"] whenever i read threads asking for advice on picking a setting... i think about a quote i heard slightly paraphrased. asking for advice from the peanut gallery is like picking your nose in public. when you get something, are you prepared for the next step... the original quote had to do with asking for a diagnostic test performed in a hospital... asking for a diagnostic test is like picking your nose in public. when you get a positive result, are you prepared for the next step... edit: i can't remember the original author any more but it was from JAMA in 1991. in other words don't ask questions unless you are prepared for the repreccusions otherwise you may just cloud your mind... why ask to run a test for gc when the patient is admitted for diarh(o)ea. why ask about greyhawk when you are running a fast play sci-fi game. if the gc test comes back positive it still doesn't affect your treatment for the runs. nor does finding out that barrier peaks was set in Greyhawk affect your use of fast play rules....
