[QUOTE="Doc_Subtlety, post: 216163, member: 2615"] ConcreteBuddha: It's funny, but I like them for exactly the opposite reason: they increase my options. IMO, there's more to making a game interesting than the character. The setting has to be fun, too. Frankly, I wouldn't still be playing D&D if I could get a break from generic Tolkien ripoff stuff. The Scarred Lands books were the first real fun I remember having with 3E, and my group has done a lot with the Worldbuilder's Handbook since then. And if playing someplace weird means I need to be a human, or a lizard man, or whatever...I say, "Who cares?" Followed closely by, "What's over that hill?" :) But, to each their own. If you can still have fun wherever you are, you shouldn't change it. Just remember this, if the place ever gets stale. :) die_kluge: If you're gonna make such broad, sweeping oversimplifications, you might as well not say anything at all. ;) (Kidding - but I hope you see what I mean.)
