[QUOTE="Bonehoard Taffer, post: 184887, member: 535"] Last time I checked there were several games that were setting specific. For some people that's part of the fun. Games like Call of Cthulhu, Wheel of Time, Farscape, James Bond 007, Star Wars, the DC & Marvel Super Heroes games, Dune, the Various Elric Games, Pendragon, Elf Quest, and MERP are some of the ones that come to mind. Sure you can use any of those rules for any setting you want but stray too far and the universes flavor that the game setting that those rules were originally written for ceases to exist. Obviously, people still like playing in pre determined settings. Similarly, if people don't want to participate in a universe that's as pre determined as the ones I mentioned there's still the many generic fantasy settings that are being produced right now under the OGL; which I'll wager that most started out as someone elses "scratch paper." Just because someone elses scratch paper got published doesn't make it an inferior world. [/QUOTE]
