[QUOTE="WHW4, post: 5558755, member: 63382"] All the time actually; I will be a player in a 4th edition game this weekend, and we have vampire and a cleric (boy was that thread over on the 4e boards fun to read) that will be adventuring together. We always find a way, no matter if it may be implausible on the surface, to "work things out" and have everyone playing what they want. There will most definitely be tension in the party, but that's part of the fun for us. What I think it boils down to, honestly, is we're all very good friends. We like stepping on each others toes, and tweaking each others' noses; but it seriously is all in good fun. If someone were to say "Man, what you're RPing there is just not fun for me," well then we'd do the respectable thing and hash it out and find a way for everyone to continue having fun. Another example, I was running a 3.5 campaign where the elves on one continent had imposed a segregation on themselves and essentially had become to boogeymen of the forests on one section of the continent.
