[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 6391655, member: 2205"] Almost never. But I see your point, and I realize that lots and lots of gamers depend on modules a lot. By pure coincidence I just re-read the last two adventures of that recently. It seems to me that it would be a very simple matter to have played them as is even with a radically different cosmology (assuming, of course, that you at least have a balkanized set of fiendish nations somewhere and a hippy-dippy ElfQuest style good-aligned nation as well) by simply changing a handful of proper names and ignoring references to things like the Blood War if you wish (after all, it's hardly hard to assume that fiendish armies could be encamped somewhere for some reason other than the Blood War. I assume fiendish armies are pretty much always on the march.) If you wished, you could also change all kinds of other details. Don't like Charon? You want Norse mythology without Greek influences? You don't like Yuggoloths? Well, I admit that without the river Styx, you have to do a bit more work, but otherwise those are pretty easy things to change too. [/QUOTE]
