Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 3873537" data-attributes="member: 552">I'm somewhat of a Chris Metzen fan regarding his "attitude" about setting design, so I'm mildly interested but at the same time I have a number of caveats regarding such a game. I don't want to come across as harsh, none of this is directed at you, just in general:1) I don't particularly care for the warcraft game books. The lore is useful (mostly Metzen's work or a translation thereof) but I don't like the mechanics (well a lot of them). I like my dnd mechanics more.2) Starting a warcraft game nowadays seems to bring a lot of fans of the MMO, but not so many fans of the universe persay. As such I don't think I could really get into such a game. Here I'll admit, I've played the MMO pretty thoroughly and I enjoyed it, but at the same time I've felt like the lore has been swept under the rug a few times too many and a lot of what I think is setting material doesn't mesh with what people "know now." I'm not making any sort of derogatory remark about the MMO, as I said I've played it enough to know the ins and outs.3) Oddly enough I just don't think I could get into the game authentically. I could have back when the RPG was just coming out, but now I'd feel very watered down with a lot of content. I think I could "run" the game I want... but I don't see too many other GMs wanting to run the same game I do.So as said, interested with large caveats.</blockquote>
