Welcome!Judging from your post in the general lbt thread you are familiar with D&D.Have you played it with the traditional paper pen way,or some computer games?

I have typically played traditional pen and paper D&D, although I have dabbled in a few games built around the general premise (namely the Baldur's Gate series.)  The games that I were involved in were based upon the second and third editions, so I only have limited knowledge of editions 3.5 and 4.

If you don't mind me asking Blais, what has been your experience with D&D?  Do you prefer and particular variant of the traditional pen and paper variety (D&D, d20 system, GURPS, etc.) or are you more partial towards related computer games?  I have not had a chance to play a tabletop role-playing game in quite some time, so I would be glad to hear any recommendations that you have relating to gaming.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the alignment system of D&D, but by the sound of it it seems to be similar to that which is used in the computer game Baldur's gate.
If so I wouldn't think of any of the maincharacters as lawful. Not because they were some kind of anarchists, but because they very often break the rules and more often than not for the benefit of others. Littlefoot does show reluctance to break the rules of the grownups when in LBT 2 he is the first to voice any concerns about crossing the sinking sands. However, we more often see him take the initiative to break the rules of the grownups and bend the "laws" where said laws aren't helping.
...

Come to think of it, a character who would be extremely rule- or law-obeying might make for an interesting element in an LBT story. We have had characters before who would be supposed to be so lawful but for whom it didn't take any serious convincing effort to convince them to break the rules after all.

Then it would be safer to classify the protagonists as chaotic neutral

I think that would be more accurate to label the protagonists as either neutral good or chaotic good, as opposed to chaotic neutral.  

A neutral good character is guided by his or her own conscience and typically acts altruistically, but is willing to break laws and traditions if necessary to achieve those ends.

A chaotic good character, on the other hand, favors change for the greater good and is outright disdainful of laws and traditions. A classic archetype of a chaotic good character is the rebel with good intentions.

A chaotic neutral character follows their own whims and is not motivated by either 'good' or 'evil'.  This alignment can include anarchist-like characters and, in extreme cases, characters that appear outright insane due to their unpredictability.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  This is certainly a good deal and it goes to a good cause.

I would have to choose fast biter as well.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I would be a fast biter.  However, if I were limited to herbivorous options, then I would choose being a flyer for all of the reasons noted by Jrd89.

Thanks for the recommendation MurMur.  I have a copy of Celestia, but I have never heard of the Solar System Simulator until I saw your product recommendation.  For viewing objects in the solar system it seems to be a bit more intuitive than Celestia.
