I never get that straight, and, come to think of it, never had real exposure to either Dragonlance or Dark Sun.So he rarely even enters my mind.Same thing. The only reason I know more about Boccob than about Paladine is because they use the GH stuff as standard D&D. I don't care about GreyHawk at all. I have one vanilla D&D setting, and that is all I need. If I'm going to leave the game world I know so much about, it's not for more of the same. Well, that's the long and the short of it, isn't it? They're staple. I don't really want Moradin to tell his dwarves to start the Dwarven Mafia. Those 4 foot guys in expansive Armani suits living in Little Shanatar, driving around in fancy carriages and making people offers they cannot refuse. (In fact, I want him to die screaming along with all his gritsucker minions, but that's beside the point) I don't want Corellon to ditch war and take on the mantle of environmental activism. I don't want Garl instruct his gnomes to build little spheres containing a variant of the figurine of wondrous power, which can speak its own name and the name of its spell-like abilities. I simply want the FR to remain the FR. I have no problems with fresh new concepts and campaign settings (I loved Rokugan d20 for its Asian flair, Midnight for the prevailing mood and new twist on the races and half-breeds, and so on). But then again, I want a consistant, timeless campaign setting I can always return to, which will remain as it is, just for nostalgia's sake. I remember seeing the character portraits of BG2 for the first time. I hated them. Everyone had his eyebrows or nose or whatever pierced, or looked like he was from the FR-equivalent of Jamaica.He's a really weird choice for a patron deity. Someone who takes on suffering for others can't really be considered a wuss, really.</blockquote>
