But due to the nature of the Crossroads Tavern being an extra-dimensional tavern (due to the high number of portals and most of the player base seems to play characters that are not native to the setting), why couldn’t characters have more advanced weaponry? If it’s a setting moderator’s choice of saying “I don’t like guns in my fantasy, so please don’t introduce guns into the setting.” Disallow it completely. 8) Again, this is an odd choice but of setting preference or game edition preference. I personally don’t see why not a person can’t play a free-willed mechanical construct that’s trying to interact and mimic humanoid society when there’s a stone golem serving me beer. “Oh, its because the people are xenophobic.” Fine, the War forge only comes to visit the tavern and doesn’t go out into Ford Keep or whatever reason. Due to the strangeness or exotic nature of the CRT (and the years of exposure to it), I’ve imagined if the people are so paranoid they wouldn’t go near it anyways (unless someone decides to play a native and that’s a whole other story). Again, this can easily be applied to many exotic but are now becoming common PC races then the standard (Gnome, Elf, Half-Elf, etc). 11) My argument is the same with #1. Is technological advancement limited due to setting (i.e native characters?) or “Oh, all the foreign characters not of this world just happens to have the same technology advancement as ours and none of them are more advanced then us. Except for gnomes, they seem to invented steampunk…”Everyone pretty much knows, the two rooms that carters to the most ppl are TMP (on a good day) and CRT. As much as it won’t sound good, the other rooms are redundant. They’re suggested settings for ppl to play in. If they’re not seeing a lot of use, drop them. They become suggested settings, but are now freeform rooms like the CARP DM and AHOY rooms, leaving you with more freeform rooms.  Make the CRT into an extra-dimensional setting. It was already slightly based on the World Serpent Inn idea (a common idea used in many fantasy and sci-fi literature, and the last episode of Quantum Leap). The CRT is its own plane with access to many different places with mysterious storefronts. When local authority try to insert their “authority”, the storefront changes to a new location on that world. This way, you don’t need to deal with xenophobia with NPC villagers or townsfolk that players never interact with unless by hearsay of their character’s activities. But what about Sigil? Play Sigil in the DM rooms. Its just another suggested setting. But we’re going to need more moderators to watch for stuff… Recruit volunteers and assign the room moderators of those redundant settings to the CRT and the DM rooms. This suggested format is more of a method to bring things back to being more Freeform. This will probably appeal to both old school gamers and new blood who are more familiar with the new material (4th Edition), or with people that just love to role play and want to play their original characters with no idea what D&D is about. Another suggestion to bring in new blood, how about En World have a link on their front page to ISRP's front page. One of the main reasons ISRP of old saw alot of traffic is because ppl would go to the old TSR site and see the community page, noticing a chat option. Go in, talk about whatever and notice "oh! a Role playing option.." I know this may not be possible with En World supporting their own chat option or the fact ppl that want their stuff advertise needs to pay for their advertisements. But it would be nice to inquire to see if its possible. Or we can continue to be obscured, found only in the bottom of the En world forums and only be known thru word of mouth. But thats off topic. - Toxicsyn</blockquote>
