[QUOTE="Dontella, post: 2892528, member: 34727"] To put it simply.. The only regulations that mandate which room a player should use, are those established by the setting rules. Therefore any character who falls within the established setting parameters, can engage within that setting. That means a faerunian elf, who wishes to visit the Cross Roads Tavern, can. So long as said elf does not violate the 'Roads setting rules. Your suggestion that characters should stay within their own settings, has several disadvantages.. 1. Those characters from settings that are no represented on ENWorld. By your suggestion those from Faerun should remain in Faerun, those in Greyhawk should remain in Greyhawk.. what of those who do not have a room to represent them. Characters from Ansalon, or Taladas, or Athas, or the Demi-plane of Dread. By your reasoning, then, these characters should not be played since they are not setting specific to the rooms in place. 2. Limited Role-Play. Most of the characters present, are ported over from ISRP. They have established backgrounds and histories, and friends. And suddenly, by your notion of keeping each character to their own respective setting, someone is asking those characters to stop interacting with those people that they always have. To cease role-playing as they have. So you have a few options really.. A: Make a character that follows the Tavern Setting Rules, and join in the RP. B: Invite your friends and other people you interact with, to join you in the other rooms. I said invite, not demand in a rant across the message boards. But please, do not try and change the gaming habits and styles of others. So long as they are following the CoC and established setting rules, there is no reason for anyone to complain. Face it, people will play where they choose, and trying to limit this with a vague notion of "Keeping setting characters to their own settings" is utterly ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
