> And then there's Paul's game, Sam. You know, where we're all
apprentices from Syran wizardry schools. That's a pretty tight, no?
I didn't see any of us saying, "man, I wanted to play a Kraorelan
monk!"
Dīoh!!!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to say that - I love those
moments.
> You can only propose it and see if they like the idea. I think
that it should always be a collaboration on what to play. Maybe it
turns out that we play all Vingans today. But, that said, if you
have a vision and present it, there's no reason that it can't be
infectious.
Agreed that people need to buy into it, I doubt itīll happen by chance. Infectious is, I guess, the nail being hit.

the clan "Banished by Clan" and another has "Beloved by the Clan."
Absolutely, and thatīs why I so much like the idea of having much the same keywords. They are some of those limitations which you like to point out can foster creativity.
> Niche in HQ in the games I've played has been all about the
character's personal issues, not what powers they have.
It still comes up quite a bit. With the game Rory set up, there were good reasons for the niches, an expedition being mounted, so they make sense. Elsewhere, I think a lot of people do still think in terms of the multi-legged party monster. I like the idea that the party monster has one leg - it is less stable :)
