Not a problem for one offs but not good for campaignsIMHO - the game need to be serious enough to give you the base for the characters, and then you can have fun around that(btw - funniest game i ever ref'd had a Dwarven Fighter, Elven Wizard/Thief and Human Cleric. The Dwarf and Elf spent the entire time bickering and complaining about each other in true stereotypical fashion with the cleric the only person paying any attention to the plot - to the extent that in one encounter a group of bandits suggested they came back later when they were finished! If only all my campaigns could run themselves with so little input from the DM.......)</blockquote>
