[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7994066, member: 22779"] And, yet, funnily enough, you go after me for my math, but, ignore the other poll. Huh. See, no. Not buying it. Since none of the choices are weighted, it could easily be that the most popular choice is the third choice of three more often than not. In other words, it's Vanilla ice cream. It's most popular, not because everyone likes it, but, because it's the easiest second choice. To me, I look at the poll and see that nothing stands out particularly. There's no clear choice there. At best, you've got three equally popular guesses. Now, since 77% people DON'T want any of those options, even as a third choice, to me, that says that they are not quite as popular as folks would like to think they are. At least, not of the self-selecting, very narrow group of people on En World who choose to answer a poll about settings. :D But, again, to bring this back to psionics. I'm actually a little surprised that Dark Sun seems to be the rallying cry for psionics. Sure, psionics were part of the setting, but, the main element wasn't psionics - it was defiling and preserving. Psionics was just a side note in the setting AFAIC. When you read Dark Sun adventures and setting guides, psionics was usually just a footnote. It's not like you become a Dragon King by being psionic. The movers and shakers of the setting weren't psionicists. The world wasn't defined by psionics in the way that the world was defined by magic. You could very, very easily have a non-psionic Dark Sun and very little would change about the setting. [/QUOTE]
