This is one of the reasons I like the Eberron setting. The gods may or may not actually exist, and clerics can be any alignment.

Yeah, I only have the basic Eberron book, so that's as far as I've explored the world, but that was something I *really* liked about the setting. I think i could have gotten in to Eberron, but at this point, I'm thankful I never did.

While I bought a metric buttload of 3.5 books, spending way more money than I think I ever want to admit, I was never stuck playing or running an Eberron or Forgotten Realms campaign, so I like to think of the extra thousands of dollars I saved on 3.x books.

Is this per Bertrand Russell's arguments against God? I really struggled with the relation between God and good when I left the FAC. (A uni course on the moral philosophy of Iris Murdoch and Rai Gaita helped me sort out my position.) I love these kinds of questions. (And the Ontological Argument for God, and questions of theodicy, and a bunch of other stuff.)

While I have read some Russell, I wasn't consciously channeling him. I found him interesting, although he occasionally made me want grab him by the collar and rattle him around.

would you all be willing to have a bystander for the game? I'm too much of a newbie, but I would like to watch teh masters play.

Oh, not rude at all sox.

If this game happens, I was planning on posting regular updates here in thread for the enjoyment of all. Right now the game is still pretty tentative, though.

I'd love to play the email campaign. That sounds just asynchronous enough that it might work really well with my schedule.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You'll need to take Athletics for leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. And possibly Nature to allow you to recognise the larch, the fir, the mighty Scots pine.
