[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 1504253, member: 5100"] This is pretty close to my sentiments. I have no problem harvesting crunchy-bits, or even ideas from other settings, but that's as far as it goes. If I wanted to run characters from DL, GH, or FR; I'd be running a DL, GH, or FR campaign. I even take it a step further. At the beginning of my current game, a made it explicit that, "I plan on running this game until the characters are 30th level, at least. I will write them into the history of my world for future players to experience and to share stories about. I will make them an integrated and indispensible part of what my world is. In exchange, I expect the characters to remain exclusively a part of the world. If one appears in an email game or someone else's campaign, I would consider it disrespectful of my efforts as a DM. If there are stories that remain to be told of the characters by the time we are done, we aren't done." All characters originate on my world, and they run their entire existance on my world. If someone breaks this trust, I [u]will[/u] find a way to scrub them from the ongoing history of my world. Of course, I'm considerably more relaxed when I run Greyhawk. FR stuff is still banned, but characters come from and go to other Greyhawk games. Every now and again, this even includes other worlds. Of course, I don't offer the same level of shaping the landscape -- politically, metaphysically, or otherwise -- in Greyhawk that I allow in my homebrew setting. [/QUOTE]
