But it may be that I'm really not trad. Any feedback on that question will be cheerfully accepted.In the two long RM campaigns I ran prior to my current 4e game - one Greyhawk, the other OA - I converted a lot of D&D creatures to RM stats.But I folded hobgoblins into orcs, for the reason you give, and also used only a single "hell" (called The Pale, following RM terminology), also for the same sorts of reasons you have given.In 4e I am using the default cosmology, and so orcs and hobgoblins are different, as are demons and devils, but one thing I like about 4e is that it gives these differences a mythic historical logic that makes sense even if you ignore alignment (which I generally do).This is why I like 4e's default cosmology. I think it is more mythic, less alignment-focused.</blockquote>
