[QUOTE="DanMcS, post: 1276346, member: 6530"] I picked indifferent, the idea doesn't bother me, but the execution is key. I ran a game one time that started out in the Birthright setting, though the PCs weren't kings, I was just using the setting for adventuring. My plan was to gradually introduce clues, like roaming bands of orcs (there are no orcs native to the setting), sightings of falling stars, divinations indicating something bad was coming, news of strange wars in far-off places, culminating in full-scale invasion from the dragon empire of Dragonstar. I think it would have worked well going gradually like that, there has to be build-up. Unfortunately, we tried to run this game last summer, when schedules are screwed up and nobody can make the game regularly enough to keep it going. Bah. Someday. But a spontaneous bait-and-switch would probably bother me, like, "here, your Greyhawk characters were ambushed by a ravening pack of undead, we're using V:tM rules from now on." Oh, who am I kidding, that would be fun too. But I can see where it would bother people. [/QUOTE]
