Everyone is genocidal, its nuts. I was introduced by a player who really likes the system. I got the startup PDF and read up on it. The exchange was kind of like this;Me: Wow, how do mixed race parties work? Seems everyone hates each other and particularly humans.Player: That was like a thousand years ago nobody really cares anymore.Me: There is a paragraph right here that says, "it was a thousand years ago but nobody has forgotten. They still hate humans"Player: I dont know why you are hung up on this it was a long time ago.Me: Im not hung up, its what the setting description says!Player: Well we dont have to play it that way.ME: ok. So what is up with half-eleves?Player: Oh they are either raised by elves or humans.ME: Why is that?Player: They just grow up in their birth communities.ME: Um, according to the setting material half-elves come about from hostage parents, so human and elf communities dont wage war on each other...I love the Forbidden Lands system I think it does old school in a much uniform and lite way. The setting though is not my thing yikes!</blockquote>
