It would seem you have issues with comprehension. Don't bother replying to my posts in the future.

Meals. Room rental. Armour repair. Paladins/clerics making suitable donations? Spell components. Pearls .. they damn expensive things in the middle of the desert if you wanna identify something. Arrows, bolts.

That might be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of. Very illogical.

Main entry room had a dais with a carefully laid-out warg skeleton on it. Rogue smashed the skull of the warg "so it doesn't animate." That was the totality of the rogue's actions. No "search for stuff" undertaken. This has happened, and is happening. And it's the tank that is now actually...

Yes. The issue isn't the case of "player being disruptive," so much as I think the player has a different idea of the skills/capacities of a first-level rogue can do. He's playing like it's a fifth-level, if that makes sense. I think there's a bit of "I've been playing videogames where...

He's not being disruptive.... Example: first level party has ingeniously broken into a crypt that from a story/plot dynamic wasn't supposed to be. OK, bonus points. The crypt was guarded by a pair of goblin super-warrior skeletons, five-die creatures with good armour and a special attack (cone...

I've never found pre-made modules to be that useful. I tend to run a strong homebrew campaign, and once I've tweaked the classes/races, stripped out the Monty Haul magic that too many of them have, I'm left with a shell and a story I have to re-write myself anyway. It's less effort to fabricate...

As someone else has already indicated in a less-than-subtle way, you're into railroad terrain ... which can be problematic. My approach is inherently sandboxy. What this means is that things will happen that the party has no control over, no knowledge of.... like volcano eruptions far away...

I'm running a sandboxy campaign - it's my preference. The intro sessions involved rubbing against a crime boss who had hired folks to poison the (very pricey) booze consumed by a Baron. The crime boss is way too powerful for them, but if they go hunting.... [rubs hands together] I spent 20...

I created an account on this site for the sole purpose of telling you how delightfully twisted that is. Consider it swiped.
