Its fear.Some may say otherwise, but thats only words. "It is easier to say than to do."But those are the two main things that make for a good time, you have something to talk about and a great way (or bad way) to break the ice.Of course you could make a new character and call every one a "flesh bag", it gets attention, some good some bad.But "feeling lost" or "looking like a fool", is, what I believe to be, the main reason why people do not want to make new characters or try new areas.I know that there are other reasons that are up on the list of "Why...", such as "My character is old and is familiar.." or "I'm too lazy.. (which shouldn't matter but does)" or "..Well, since no one is there I'll just go to where the people are...". It all goes back to an underlying theme I believe.. FEAR ..some may agree or disagree with that, that's all fine. ----With the heading of "Waterdeep?" I wasn't sure if this was just a reincarnation of other threads of similar themes of the contents... It seems that it is, but no matter how much people talk about it, there is no (or extremely limited) action to do anything about it.Though I must be sounding like a broken record or squeaky hinge...----I know I am guilty of a few things that I have said, I even made a mistake with one character ( maybe a few more than just one), but one character of mine cannot plane jump and yet he ended up in a different setting.I have one character or rather a few (though they haven't been on in a while) that are frequently jumping planes to get a little more diversity for rooms and areas. I myself as a person dislike (not hate or loathe, simply dislike) Forgotten Realms setting in actual play for personal reasons (such as: why bother with all of the high level npcs already in place, no room for expansion ((if there is its no uniform enough to be brought here)), and everything is ((or seems to be, to me)) vastly over powered compared to other settings).I haven't tried the TMP so I can't form an opinion of that area.I like the cage (the Baazar is okay), but its hardly used, for reasons probably descibed above.The CRT/Garden/Clearing is the most common area to be in, why, its been described already. Though I have been making it a point to (at least try) stay out of the tavern (I've been doing well at that).----Well, I think thats it for my rant.. I hope I haven't left out any parts...Have fun!</blockquote>
