I do find a small problem. They reduce that element of trust.

Just a thought, Andrew--I think perhaps you should trust your players to 
look at your record and their own feelings on the matter, and come to 
their own conclusions.  Harold feels this way; I somewhat agree with him 
(but probably don't have the time--when classes start up--to play anyway, 
so it doesn't matter for me); and other people will reach their own 
conclusions.  :-)

Remember, you had a lot of players who enjoyed Sigils.  They know what 
you can do.  Heck, the "players wake up with amnesia" (plus whatever new 
fillips) gambit is pretty old, too.  But old ideas will always be new for 
new players, is the beauty of it--and I strongly suspect there *are* 
players who will see what this new campaign is about.

> You're cutting my player-pool to ribbons here, Harold. I realize that your 
experience with such scenarios has either been sour, over-played, or a little 
of both. Perhaps with others, too. But, at the same time, Sigils of Erasure is, 
I feel, a prime example of how things did not flow according to the norm. I 
write in my spare time, Harold. I know enough from what I write, and what I 
read, just how boringly repetitive some situations can be if those responsible 
for the creation of those situations don't add a number of interesting twists.

Actually, I'd wait until you've applied to run the campaign *and* have 
started receiving player applications (or not) before coming to that 
conclusion.
