[QUOTE="WBruce, post: 8696908, member: 6701967"] Hi, I am running a campaign where my characters started very young with 12 years old. As we are progressing, I was thinking about a chapter in a University and so I stumbled into Styrixhaven which I've been reading and am almost done. I really don't like it. Since I will be adatpting almost everything to my taste, I was wondering how the Harry Potter theme could impact me. See, I never watched a Harry Potter movie, and to be honest I don't think I ever will. It's really not my thing. A more mature approach to a university, and specially to magic is what I am looking for instead of Orientation, Frog Race, Prank Quest, Improv Quest, and so on. A lot of this as I feel just relates to a very specific view of what a university is in a particular well known region of the world extensivelly shot in Hollywood movies. You get the idea. This is not in my opinion how university times goes in many, many countries and it's definitely not how I want to portrait it in my game. There is a big but though. Since I am not sure yet what I will take from Strixhaven and how much I will adapt, I have some concerns about how similar it is to the Harry Potter movies, since my players all watched and enjoyed. I can't tell how much the campaign is similar to Harry Potter because I never watched, but I don't want my players thinking I am DMing D&D Harry Potter Edition in the case I decide to run the Strixhaven Campaign. I did read somewhere that they are very similar. What do you think? Can you provide me with some insight in how they are similar if they are at all? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
