[Leanthar]

Naw, I understand exactly what you are trying to get at here Ar. It is what I had (and still do) hoped for in Layonara. It is just so much more difficult on so many levels.

"....This of course has the consequenses of going terribly wrong and ruining the world. But this is where the DM team comes in, their role should change from creating stories to creating an system of balances, a self-regulating environement. ...."

Systems...if we did it with sytems it would take 1000's and 1000's of hours to get right and balanced and it would never be right and balanced. I tried to go down this path and got less than 2% down the road with it, it just isn't going to happen any time soon that is for sure. GM's.... This could work but only to a degree. You have player ego's, frustrations, right/wrong accusations, rumor mongering, truth bending/breaking, and all kinds of other things that just ruin it for so many others on so many levels; this is very sad to say but it is true.

I hear you though. What you described is what I have/had always hoped for with Layonara....I am just not so sure it is even possible any more.
