[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5110607, member: 20741"] I LOVE the Cantina... in [I]Star Wars[/I], that is. [I]Star Wars[/I] is a setting with six to eight trillion sentients who have access to Hyperspace, spread across 100,000 habitable worlds in the Galaxy. The "Cantina effect" - which happens only on some of the major metropolitan planets, spaceports and in the Hives of Scum and Villainy™ on the fringes of society makes sense in the [I]Star Wars[/I] milieu. It works for me. [I]Totally. [/I] But what has me going all-in as a central part of THE iconic Space Opera setting has me throwing in my cards and picking up my chips when it happens during a D&D session. Sorry. In my D&D I want humans only, or maybe the nod to Tolkinesque fantasy, at most, as part of the central PC areas and cultures. A PC droid in [I]Star Wars[/I] totally works for me. A PC Warforged in D&D? I'm out of there. I tried out China Miéville's [I]Perdido Street Station[/I] on Erik Mona's glowing recommendation. Sorry. It just doesn't work for me. [/QUOTE]
