I assure you, all rpgs are full of books written by writers who added something with no idea another writer is doing something contradictory. Mystara in particular is a whole setting built on it. I once attended a panel lead by Liz Danford, co-writer of Northen Reaches Gazeteer, and someone asked her how it was working with Bruce Heard (who wrote Principalities of Glantri Gazeteer) and said she doesn't know because each person working on GAZ series was writing their own thing, and they would only interact after work, when they went drinking and work topics were strictly forbidden. So by your assumption, each person working on Mystara Gazeteers was inherently wrong because they did not knew full lore, thus meaning their work should be discarded and entire setting no longer exists?If you still cling to Half-orcs and inherently evil Orcs, you should consider if 5.5 is for you, considering the game moved away from both. Including toning Grummsh down (in my opinion they should make Grummsh just Orc aspect of Talos, especially if they're both now Odin-inspired) And was right to do it. "Inherently anything" races is a bad game design that limits roleplay opportunnities to no benefit than cannot be achieved without it.And you would be surprised how annoyingly common are people who demand all Monks be from a monastery and bald-shaven because there was once in one book line of text describing them that way. People who are mad Monks are martial artists and not religious people who spend whole day brewing alcohol, praying and copying books also exist, but are irrelevant.If anything, I'm making the opposite assumption, I beleive nurture overpowers nature. My entire point in the very post you quoted was that if PDK got bunch of Dragon eggs and raised the dragons, they would not be adhering to principles of "Amethyst Dragon Society", however nonsensical they may be.I did not see good use of Aligment in this thread, not with the idea Neutral means somehow both fiercely independent and adhering to strict code of rules and refusing to take sides in a conflict at all.</blockquote>
