[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4656920, member: 54846"] Dude. I have [I]never[/I] seen a debate of morals happen at the game table. [I]Never[/I]. This isn't about turning Game Time into Talk Time. The lats time this came up at my table, the player asked me, "Is (this group we want ot attack) genetically evil, or culturally evil?" I replied, "Culturally." The response was, "Then we won't wipe out the children," and then proceeded to plan the assault. That was the end of the discussion. How about a little less "If you don't play my way you have a problem"? You're seriously dismissing and insulting people for "taking the game too seriously" because they don't play your way.
