Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zelda Themelin" data-source="post: 5821509" data-attributes="member: 167">This modern versus different time (universe, culture) problem rises head very often in my another group. Some people just can't reskin their own personal preferances how to live life (not just morals) for fantasy games. Said persons also tend to make adventure-avoiding turtling characters regardless of backgroud they themselves gave. You know the few words background when you tell about your character to other players.Thus whenever he runs games even when "run away, I make you run away, if you don't you are playing chaotic neutral" wtf, certain subjects tend to go in land of eeeevil, like enslavement of children, even if that still happens in real word for "practical reasons". I can live with that those game are roleplaying-light where you have to be demon worshipping crazy cultist to do that or even get laid, for the matter.He is also big in that good should win all the time, dulllll...But I think many of those gaming differances (and personalitly) is that I can get into characters that are not like me at all, or npc:s that are utterly disgusting accirding my personal sensibles. Or just highly annoying from perspective I'd have to associate in real life.This person's problem is not ignorance of history or how modern world works, he just prefers his roleplaying that vanilla+. Actually it's interesting we still play together (well, old friends) since half of group has pretty different standing what fun roleplaying is. Yet it's lovely to share, in small doses.We argue always about paladins. We have recently agreed that minds will not be changed so we leave them alone.Also star wars and jedis. He is really avid star wars fan. I don't like to play in universes based on fiction, especially long standing. Ah, then there are jedi powers and what gives dark side powers according to book. It's interesting we have argued about that, even if we sort of agree, even if, I don't even play jedis on those rare occasions I've been tricked to participate. Age old argument concerning "killing kobold babies", since 1983. I think I like arguing that's why we don't so often agree to disagree.I must admit warhammer chaos corruption used to be difficult for me. I played lot of warhammer 40 000 as roleplaying game. I think fugly mutations bothered me more than actual "philosophy of chaos" (=often stupid evil). I got over it. Though admitingly I have my least favories like "transperent skin". I don't often play in games simulating "medieval" worlds. They tend to be bit more fantastic. And often despite their origins adventurers are bit of social class of it's own. Unles characters are spending lot time supporting family, guild, their political/religious goals.</blockquote>
