Re: Is it just me?

Well, mainly I don't like using other people's NPCs, unless they're pretty
well thought out and somewhat person-like. As in, "Hagreth* is a human
fighter level 4" does me no good, and I would be soooo unlikely to use
him...
*this is not meant to refer to anyone in particular, just a common
trend...everybody's a bunch of stats and an alignment, no personality quirks
or weaknesses...
I like settings, ships, and other material that tends to show some thought
and originality. If it's something I never would have thought of, it's worth
it, so I might use it...
Whereas, the latest attempt at the Jedi kit affects me none and I am
unlikely to even read it...
Of course, there are those people who LOOOVE this sort of thing, so....
