But it seems pretty obvious that LoE is attempting to create a sort of "Pendragon: D20", and faithfully recreate the Aruthrian Mythos, useing Mallory as a modle, while RR:E is more a "Hey! do what ya wanna do" approach.Both approaches have their audience, as well as their own strength and weakness. I personally found R&R:E making a stronger effort to mold the rules around the seting, while LoE simply chooses to chuck things and replace them with a new set of rules & classes.The end result is R&R:E is a setting that remains slightly recognizable as having it's roots d20 D&D more so the LoE,  The LoE approach may turn of hard core fans, but at the same time may appeal to hard core Arthurian buffs.In regards to how Christianity is approached vs. Paganism, my experience is that White Wolf (S&SS is a divison of WW as I recall), has always been some what politcally correct- and the "C" word is a sort of no-no, for some reason...unless it bashes it, or paints it in a bad light (look at how the Catholic Church is portrayed in the World Darkness books)- and as I recall there is a statement within R&R:E recarding Christianity, which sez, to paraphrase "We are intentionally avoiding the 'C word', so we don't offend anyone".Seeing as the clashing of the Old ways and the "new" Christian faith is one of the major themes of the Arthurian saga, it seems a pretty big "missed opportunity". One that RPGO was affraid to include.In that sense RPGO</blockquote>
