I think you've asked an excellent Big question, and I appreciate your openess and inclusion in listening to our opinions. Just the fact that you're asking this question makes Ilshara more interesting to me, not to mention that you've managed to distill a theme ("humans as evil")...Can you give an example of how this theme works in your game? For example, how a certain race formed in opposition to humanity as natural evolution?If humans are essentially evil (whether or not they realize it) in your setting, then I wonder will it have ecological overtones? As in, even those who do good for human society (for example, those a church building low-income housing) end up harming the environment (like the old-world industrialists)? Or are you coming at the theme of "humanity as the major source of evil" with humans as the conquerors of other nations (paralleling our real world colonial history)?Best of luck with publishing!</blockquote>
