(Greyhawk and similar settings where most of the countryside falls under the control of one or more nations, is what I mean.) But I think that the Law/Chaos axis more than any other is setting-dependent, which is why the question comes up so much.<br /><br />When I'm dealing with a less, well, civilized setting, with frontier environments and/or large areas of wilderness or unsettled land, I tend to incline more towards an axis where Lawful means 'thinks that civilization is a net positive' (for everyone if LG; for oneself if LE) and Chaotic means 'thinks that civilization is a net negative (sees it as decadent or corruptive if CG, sees it as a hindrance if CE.)<br /><br />When I'm in a more actively supernatural setting, it's an allegiance to the forces of otherworldly powers as much as a personal philosophy.Jonathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424548045152722964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-85154464789667063522012-12-19T14:30:00.550-08:002012-12-19T14:30:00.550-08:00Which movie version would that be?Which movie version would that be?FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.com
