Words to Game By

Old school games tend to favor player skill over rules mastery or character strength: for an old-school player, it's fun to both accept the challenge of random generation and to masterfully play and develop that "accidental" character into something legendary. To beat the odds. -- Al at Beyond the Black Gate

Do as thou will shall be the whole of the DMG. -- Jeff Rients

I think (alignments) are metaphysical factions. (Whether that was the Seelie/Unseelie of Andersons' A Broken Sword, (or) the eternal battle of Moorcock's Elric series, alignment) is more than membership in a club it speaks to one's being. Men are all over the place for the same reason race-as-class makes sense: free will is a distinctly human grace. -- Hugh Acton
