[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 4958037, member: 6562"] It is game-neutral, [b]but...[/b] use discretion. Usability is a criteria for judgment. If your entry is only usable in some custom homebrew game system, it's not gonna win. Likewise, a less-used game (like SW Saga or d20 Modern) has a usability gap that must be compensated for with that much more awesomeness in all other areas. Also, many ingredients are drawn from D&D's iconic landscape. If you get the ingredient "Grell", for example, you'd better do a damn good job convincing me that at least one "Grell" belongs in whatever game and/or setting you choose. Grell in d20 Modern? Plausible. Grell in Exalted? Hoo boy. That said, you may be inspired to create such a work of overwhelming awesomeness, that it more than compensates for your game and/or setting handicap. So basically: use discretion. "[i]You Do Your Best, We'll Do Our Worst![/i]", -- N [/QUOTE]
