I never stayed long enough to see the end of the first gaming session. I can certainly understand your feeling. I would be weary too if I happened to fall on this thread, and I might (like you) speak up in warning about the dangers of the Carrot Syndrome.   Why indeed ? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />   Steve Jackson and William Gibson have given us the fantasy of a "cyber-space" where we could project ourself in the net, interacting with others at the most intimate level. Until then, I fear we have to deal with the cards we are given.     I was hoping it would.   I knew that. Which is why I offered a gesture of goodwill to alleviate the discussion.   I always do my best to go beyond the 1's and 0's that comprise the hard-disks of this board. I see too often people being contemptuous and patronizing on these boards, and that quite frankly almost turned me off of ENworld at one point, as I was saying to Mark of CMG the other day. Of course, his infinite wisdom calmed me down, and I bit down my urge to throw away the best ressource I have ever found about RPG's.   That wouldn't feel "right". You were quite right in expressing your concerns (I certainly have no right to dictate what people post on the boards). That said, you did point out very useful points, that I will make use of.  But rest assured, your discussion, if anything, has tempered my goals. I will expose my desires to my players, but will not force them. Like I said, a paladin of elhonna could also work (to a lesser extent), and if it is their choice, I will modify my campaign accordingly.  It's GOT to be Elhonna however. If you saw my homebrew setting, all this would become quite clear, and would make more sense to everyone here. I just can't post the notes on the boards, my players have net access too.   We just did. I wish I could see such behaviour more often on the boards.   Likewise. Thanks.</blockquote>
