Even at the times I have been frustrated as hell, the non-traditional politics of Lusternia are one of those things that anchors me here.

How many games could I play, graphical or otherwise, where compassionate, light wielding paladins team up with wise and noble elves to fight the gathered armies of Rawrfoil the evilmancer and his cobbled together rogue's gallery of dark-bad frenemies?

Way, way too many.

Here, I get to have conversations that I simply would not in other places. And justify arrangements in nuanced ways.
