        I don't mind having the Moose Hsunchen in a game. I just don't want them to be the Pralori, which are a large and common group. I don't want my comic relief playing a major role in the campaign politics (a pivotal role, maybe, but not a major one). The Pralori are too widespread to be mooses IMO.

        Like I said before, an elk is not all that much like a deer.

        I've seen many a live moose up as close as I dared to get. Both in the wild and in zoos. Though I wouldn't want to get in a fight with a moose, this doesn't free the moose from the stigmata of a funny-looking animal. Mooses look goofy, mooses sound goofy (lives there a teenage American male who hasn't bellered out the moose mating call at least once?), and every once in a while a lonely bull moose in Maine or somewhere gets romantic and starts chasing and trying desperately to mate with the local cows (who, of course, want nothing to do with him). It's really quite heartbreaking, plus the cows lose weight with all that running around.

        I DEMAND Moose Hsunchen in my campaign. I just don't want 'em to be the Pralori. Just as I would never have an entire Duck Kingdom in a major important place in my campaign.

        I think we should move on to the next step, since our experiment has been so successful. It's time to bring about the interchange of David Cake with David Hall. This way, we'll get to have TotRM published in AMERICA! Unless. er, Mr. Cake lives in England (or somewhere worse). I guess I'll have to check up on that before we get too carried away.

        And then we can create our Ultimate Exchange -- switching Scotland for Sartar. This has the exceedingly benign and much-hoped for result of forcing Sam Phillips AND Alex Ferguson into becoming NPCs in our Dragon Pass campaigns.
