I love LOTR with a fierce and burning love, but I'm sick of people playing hobbits and dwarves and mincing elves. Other races are acceptable, but the setting should be human-dominated. Nations, ethnicities, religions, and cultures matter. Groups who have power use that power, and the world changes as a result. The PCs don't have to be involved in this stuff, but it will still happen backstage. Magic obeys rules. Except when it doesn't, at which point it becomes strange and dangerous and Not To Be Trifled With. Gods are unknown and unprovable. You'll never meet them, you'll never fight them, you'll never sleep with them. Powerful beings that call themselves gods show up sometimes. They aren't actually divine, but they're dangerous enough that smart people pay heed to them anyway. Thundarr could live there. So could Conan. So could Cugel the Clever. So could Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.   *grin* We're playing 7th Sea and Cyberpunk 2020. I haven't sold anyone on my homebrew Thundarr-meets-Flash-Gordon setting using the Hero System rules yet.</blockquote>
