Message: <blockquote data-quote="MoogleEmpMog" data-source="post: 2499175" data-attributes="member: 22882">Flexibility: My area boasts ample opportunity for gaming.  If you say "Core-only," I say, "goodbye."  The only reason I would choose to play D&D is to have fun with the options d20 has made available (or to play Spelljammer, obviously). if those options aren't available, I could be playing SilCore or HERO or Spycraft or True20 - and I will. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I don't mind setting-specific restrictions on character concept - but if I'm playing in a OA-style campaign and feel my ultra-honorable, pure-hearted samurai constantly torn between obedience and justice is better represented by a paladin (or a paladin/warmain/kensai with Blood and Fists martial arts feats), I want to be able to use the latter mechanics and call him a samurai.Ruthlessness: My philosophy on RPG combat can be summed up simply: If you're perfect and lucky, you'll survive. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> I GM this way, and I like to be GMed this way.  I hate being softballed.Plotting: I want a compelling, intricate and backstabbing storyline to back up my compelling, intricate and backstabbing combats.  Dungeon crawls (and most "adventuring" in the D&D sense) do nothing for me.  I prefer games where political clout and a well-placed word are as deadly as pitched battle.</blockquote>
