That said, if i have to choose, i would choose No Gen all the way. despite some people's insistence that D&D is just full of a bunch of people playing pre-generated characters beyond just being newbies, I can't imagine playing a table top role playing game without my own character.

I truly hope they don't go this direction. I don't think I can handle another "chosen one" plot line.

I'm okay with not being the only tadpole infected character. It doesn't make me feel like I'm sharing a spotlight.

I'm just trying to play through a story here. A handful of unlikely allies are brought together because they're in the same condition and looking for a way out. I like that. Having companions. All of us seeking the same goal. I don't need (or rather, I don't want) to feel like a chosen one with companions who are slightly less than me.
