Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rechan" data-source="post: 4797933" data-attributes="member: 54846">There are quite a few things folks around here are interested in that I just can't understand. Mainly, I don't see the attraction at all. I got to thinking, then, that this would be a nice topic for a thread. So, post something you don't see the attraction to, and hopefully someone else will try to explain why they like it/what the draw to it is.In fact, we can make it a game. If you make a post explaining something you like, then I encourage you to end that post with something you don't get. This is not an excuse to insult/rant about game elements you don't like. This is because you want someone to explain it to you because you're curious. Don't argue with the explanations given - if you still don't get it or don't like it, you likely won't. This is also not a place to express the superiority of your taste (either as a questioner or explainer).To get the ball rolling, I'll start: Xorn.I was on a forum, when some designers were asking "What do you want to see in this adventure?" and some of the responses were "Xorn! We never see Xorn in adventures!" "Yeah! Xorn would be awesome!" "Xorn are cool!"So, to find out what the hubub is about, I looked up Xorn and I was left confused.Xorn are merely extra-planar entities that eat gems. They can barter for gems. Sometimes they'll attack you for gems. Aside from their appearance (which is a little intriguing), I don't understand the attraction because they just... don't seem to do that much. They eat gems. That's their sole motivation? Aside from a Xorn asking for gems to eat, or a xorn bandit demanding your jewelry, I don't see much of an opportunity for Xorn interaction. I imagine that they don't pop up in modules/see a lot of use because they're not all that inspiring.So, why do you like Xorn?</blockquote>
