[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 3969223, member: 40810"] I much prefer the Chaos vs. Law struggle to the Good vs. Evil struggle. They says they want to create an unique D&D ID and yet they abolish anything that was unique about D&D and replace it with the plainest run of the mill generic fantasy stuff one can think off. Come on, good vs. evil? How more non unique and stereotypical can we get? Angels fighting fiends, how refreshing, how surprising, how unique D&D ID :confused: But an archon army stopped from marching to their crusade against the Abyss by an army of eladrins blocking their way because they don't want to stand by while the archons do a crusade that's just as much a crusade against Chaos as a crusade against evil, that's D&D. Why? Because it's something new that drastically differs from the other 0815 RPG-Systems out there? Isn't that what it's all about if you want an unique D&D feel? That's not different with good and evil. Too much good is just as bad to the cosmos as too much evil, the answer is also in the balance (the fanatical LG paladins are as blind to this truth as the lunatic CE destroyers) YES So it's a unique D&D thing? Perfect, mission accomplished!!! So we should do away with what's unique D&D and turn it into plain old boring standard fantasy? I though the goal was the exact opposite? I forgot, we want to completly slay D&D and then skin it and put something entirely different in it's hide to fool people into thinking they buy D&D and only too late realize that they aren't And the great and refreshing thing about D&D is that in D&D they are equally valid cosmic forces. Tharizdhun arose at the same time out of the same primordial forces than the good guys. He is not an inferior latecommer who corrupted the rightfull order, he is just as much part of the rightfull order than any of the good guys. As far as the cosmos is concerned the teachings of Good are no more valid than the teachings of evil. [/QUOTE]
