[QUOTE="pming, post: 8429341, member: 45197"] Hiya! Gonna go with... ".....nnnaaaahh....". Seems to be another attempt to "Sigil'ify" D&D; I never liked Sigil's "background" because it stepped directly on the toes of every DM who had a campaign running before it. Like TSR was trying to "claim some sort of 'ownership/connection'" to a DM's campaign. Think of it like some big company writing a popular Sci-Fi series that then uses it's market dominance to claim that EVERY other Sci-Fi show or movie that has starships in it are all tied directly into "their" Sci-Fi series. "Star Trek? Yeah, I guess that would be [I]technically[/I] part of our universe. Star Wars? Yup, tied to ours as well. The Expanse, uh huh, fits with our Unifying Universe. I mean, no we don't [I]actually[/I] claim to own those series or universes...but they would be a part of ours I guess. You know, if we bought those IP's they'd fit right in with no modifications needed. But hey, ignore that if you want. In our game though, yeah, all part of OUR universe". Just rubs me the wrong way. Then again I'm old, so someone using the word "infer" when they should have used "imply" rubs me the wrong way! Now get offa my lawn!!! ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
