[QUOTE="Byrons_Ghost, post: 801774, member: 7396"] Thanks for the advice, sounds good so far. I did do some stuff online for my last game, since only one or two people wanted to do political type stuff they ended up dominating the sessions while everyone else sat around. Not an ideal situation. I may just take the game online, especially if I end up moving, but I have the feeling that only two players out of five would do anything online with any regularity. How about everyone else out there? I want stories! Let's here some of the wacky, oddball, or just plain annoying things that you've done to players when they were trying to do this sort of stuff. I'll even start. After going through an old module called "Night's Dark Terror", which ends in the looting of a lost valley, our party had more money than we knew what to do with (we weren't in the part of the world where we could just blow it on magic). So we found a good trade center and got permission from the ruler to open a bank. We did all the sorts of banks do- protected cash, handed out loans, that sort of thing. We got this halfling merchant that we knew to look after the place whenever we had to go off and kill orcs or whatever. Well, we come back after one adventure and the place has been burned to the ground- and our manager with it. Needless to say, the money is gone. We do some checking around, and decide that it was a group of bandits we'd cheesed off a while back. So we track some of them down, finally get to their leader, and find that he was in on the scam with the manager, who isn't dead, and in fact took most of the money with him and was probably on the other side of the continent by that point. We never did manage to catch up to him... [/QUOTE]
