However, that being said, if a majority of your potential audience is unfamiliar with the genre you are emulating, and of the three tropes/agendas mentioned you give maybe a bit more attention (perhaps even at the expense of the other tropes) to the one that the public at large still finds itself uncomfortable addressing in the Real World (let alone in their game world), then you might find yourself off-putting a significant portion of your market.Or you might find some players who try to play oozes as PC's, and although they approach the challenge with all-good intentions, end up making characters that come-off as bad carictures of oozes. The question then is, does this help or hinder your agenda?</blockquote>
