[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7768125, member: 2629"] As a DM, you world build with your players. If your players want to borrow from Mercer's games for inspiration, it isn't a bad thing. His game is well run with energetic and enthusiastic players. If, as a DM, I had players try to borrow heavily from Mercer's game, I'd find a way to work with it. I planned for Russian sounding Dwarves and they want their Dwarf to sound Celtic? Not a problem. I might switch my plan, add a foreign clan that has a Celtic accent, or help the PC come up with a background for their dwarf amongst the race that does sound Celtic. They want to play a noble gunslinger in my world that doesn't have guns? I'll add the guns as the invention of their PCs, just as Perceviel invented them. Their Dragonborn Sorcerer is named Tiberius and talks like a stuffy jerk? So what? That can be a fun PC for a party. So what if it isn't original. The players are not playing in the DM's world. They're playing in the game world that they create together. I'd be grateful that my PCs took their hints from such a great source. [/QUOTE]
