I remember a thread here last year where it was intimated that the other players will only give their characters family in an effort to gain some advantage.That's not an environment conducive to the kind of thing pemerton is talking about. And to be fair not one endorsed by D&D for about fifteen years, but it's still alive and well.</blockquote>
