[QUOTE="Camarath, post: 1266299, member: 11987"] I would like to say that if I was a player in your game I would not appreciate the initial deception. If I agreed to play in a D20 Modern and made a character accordingly I would not be very happy to find the world radically different from the world I was told we would be playing in. It is possible that it would cause me to leave the game. I do not like being tricked. If a DM wants to try something new I am usually willing to give just about anything a try as long as I know what rule system we are using (including any house rules or "customs"), what the basic play style will be (group style and game feel), and what the fundamental world assumptions are (basically the setting). If any of these elements are significantly different from what I had been told or had be lead to believe I would have some issues with the game and the person running the game. Examples of things in games that would bother me: a game that includes extensive house rules when I was told the game was strictly core; the introduction of magic into a non-magic game; the introduction of high-tech into a low-tech game; finding out that a "dungeon crawl" game had no dungeons or crawling but had a very large amount to talking; finding out that a social/political game involved almost no politics or social interaction other than killing poeple and taking thier stuff; or any other major change that could render my character concept banal or impotent. On the other hand your game sound like a lot of fun and I would gladly play if you explained to me the game's basic premise before we started. Your players may react differently to situation than I would. I just think that something like what you are planning can be like having a rug pulled out from under one for some people if they are not ready for it. I hope that my perspective was at least somewhat helpful. Your game looks great and I hope you and your group have alot of fun. :) [/QUOTE]
