[QUOTE="Protean Victor, post: 226076, member: 3943"] [b]Surefire Way To Scare Off All Your Players[/b] If what you're trying to do is alienate everyone you game with by all means do as suggested above. I mean no harshness towards my peers on the board, but I was devastated by the support provided for the 'teach the players a lesson' approach. In My Ever So Humble Opinion what seems to be going on is a serious communication problem. I am by no means a GM of 12 years experience, however I consider myself a serious student of the craft. So now I offer my advice to you, Kargin el Tomath: 1. Talk to your players [B]before[/B] you take action. Let them know of your displeasure with the way things are going and discuss with them possible ways to adjust the situation to everyone's best interests. 2. Do not let your players push and pull you everywhich way. From the outside the situation smells afoul of pushy individuals taking serious advantage of a GM whose mastery of the rules is not quite acquired. Rather than punishing them I suggest discussion once again. If Those You Game With refuse to treat you with respect I would bow out gracefully. Trully if they do not respect the effort you're putting into the game they are probably not the type of people you should be gaming with. 3. For more information on communication in roleplaying I suggest the following website: [URL=http://www.burningvoid.com]Burning Void Roleplaying Resources[/URL] [/QUOTE]
