[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7144691, member: 7006"] Just because a player's character is Lawful Good, doesn't mean they still can't throw off the game by saying "I'm just doing what my character would do!" If your PC was Chaotic Neutral and you continually tried to stop or reject what the rest of the group wanted to do, refusing to participate in the group dynamic as it stood, and generally was disruptive to their ideas and plans, everyone here would say you were in the wrong. The group has decided this is how they want to play this campaign and you are refusing to honor the social contract by trying to do your own thing at the expense of everyone else. Instead, what we have here is a party of murderhobos just sandblasting their way through every encounter and scene... and you are deliberately playing a character to run counter to everything they are doing and how they want to play. Why? You know this is what the group wants to do and how they wish to play... there is nothing wrong with what the group wants to do and how they wish to play... and you are continually trying to stop them. For what reason? And I'm talking out-of-game here. In-game we know why... your PC is Lawful Good. But out-of-game, why are you, the player, playing this character in particular? Why are you deliberately playing a PC that is disruptive to the game? What is your reasoning? Why haven't you put this character on the shelf and made a new one that fits in to the group dynamic? I mean... at the end of the day, it comes down to what each of you at the table want to do to have fun. And if you aren't having fun playing this character because the other PCs do not respect him, listen to him, and get genuinely upset when he tries to stop them... why are you still playing him? There's nothing wrong with making new characters if your old one doesn't fit in with the game. And there's also nothing wrong with leaving a game if the style of play at the table doesn't work for you. If you don't want to play at being murderhobos, then just step away from the game and play in the next one. Better that than continually banging your head against the wall playing against party type and getting shat on because of it. [/QUOTE]
