[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9826937, member: 6790260"] If I knew ahead of such a game? Yes, I would politely decline. It's a mildly interesting question--when everyone is the same except for X, what does that do?--but it's not interesting enough to play something other than what interests me. And to be clear, I would do exactly the same thing if it had instead been: [LIST] [*]Every character in this game must play a Primal class, no other classes exist; I want to see what a world where Nature is THE source of power looks like. [*]Every character must have a Thief background and come from the same city; I want to see how characters of the same background evolve over time. [*]Pre-gens, because I find it extremely difficult to roleplay pre-gen characters in most cases, outside of one-shots. [*](inspired by GobHag above) Every character must come from the same environment, because this is a world stuck in eternal winter and I want to see how that affects things. [/LIST] It can be the most thought-out, prepared, adaptive, well-structured campaign. There's still a good chance that I'm not going to enjoy it nearly as much as I would if I got to play things I actually like, so I'm not going to do it. [/QUOTE]
