We haven't had this much creativity, discussion and multitude
of opinions since...well, since we discussed Dark Creatures
the last time. ;-) It feels like each time our Raid party would face
the "So do we attack straight on or try to sneak in?" question
on a raid. Lots of talk until somebody shot an arrow at the guard
and finished the discussion quickly!

I've already stated an opinion before. Here's my question: Do we 
HAVE to explain DC origins at all? Other than maybe a lesson
in how basic good things can become sin when pursued
selfishly I'm not sure the original spaceship story was meant
to have a deep meaning. Couldn't we leave their origin a mystery
BUT make it clear the OverLord calls them the enemy and the
doorway to sin and therefore to be avoided or destroyed? It seems
to write it clearly leaves more differences of opinion than leaving
it alone.

Just wondering. Or was that wandering? Hey, did you just shoot
an arrow at that guard?
