The beauty of the MacGuffin in Pulp Fiction is that the whole sould thing and all the clues... were the product of the viewer's imagination. Tarantino has answered questions about the case honestly, he never gave any thought to what was in the briefcase, just that it was something everyone...

I'm from a school that feels that a player can't play their character wrong, because it's their character. That said, "good" player characters who feel the need to steal everything that isn't tacked down because they're a rogue get old fast. This one walked right into a trap he had fair warning...

dead: I seem to understand the situation a little better. Getting a grasp on other people's motivations is often difficult, especially when you don't know them, as is my case. But from what you say, that's the kind of game they want to play, and it seems like you're the target because you're a...

I think you're looking at it too much as a game mechanic and it's not. The 1st level NPC warrior can become a 3rd level fighter. NPCs aren't PCs, the rules for advancement don't apply to them as strictly, because of their nature. The game mechanic is a reward system and a balancing factor for...

I still say blame lies almost exclusively on the other players. They're the ones who chose to, apparantly from character creation, create a big plot just to mess with your character. You said yourself that you blame anything another player does to you on the DM, and that's... what's a good...

The biggest problem I see with this scenario is that the other players did everything to this PC, they literally conspired as a group to do this, and all the blame falls on the DM. It seems if it had gone the other way, then there would be three disgruntled PCs cmplaining about how the dread...

There's a bit more real-world parallel involved, but I don't see how running Blue Rose backwards would be an more creative or pleasurable than running a Greyhawk game with PCs who worship Hextor, or a game of Star Wars about what your good-aligned Storm Troopers do when a group of evil, militant...

If it's disruptive to the group, I'd give him an experience penalty. Something like 5XP for every gp worth of treasure he steals from a party member. Character power is a careful balance of level and treasure, after all, and he's swinging that balance in his favore, so it will need to be...

If you're the DM, (which I assume you are, since you said he's going to be an NPC), I wouldn't worry too much about the exact mechanics. Look at what the party has, and put him a bit lower than them. It's not like your players are going to proofread it, after all. Give him Darkvision equal to...
