You need to take that up with the various people who have already said RR's actions were similar to those on the show. and here again: That fact that the person might die for his actions is part of the game.

Mercutio, you have a polite and friendly tone. So let me apologize profusely if I unintentionally come off as dismissive or condescending or in any way offensive. I will try to preserve the friendly nature of our discussion. I read your entire post and it is, imho, a disanalogy. I don't see...

Here is what he wrote in the OP One of the NPC's controlled by the GM tried to do the lets be all diplomatic and vote crap so i stamped my displeasure into him with my foot. Everyone at the table is up in arms that i cant do that. That's it. I don't know how you go from "I can't do that" to...

This is a 100% complete disanalogy. This is the crux of the differences in our opinion. In your mind, it's A. What is being described is B. RR did not show up with Han Solo to a high fantasy game. He played farmer. He took actions that several people have said are within the range of...

So not only has a similar thing happened in TWD, you also agree that it is a likely outcome? And when the GM pulls him aside and says, you're doing it wrong and you won't be allowed to play like that...you think that's kosher? This is, imo, the crux of it all. You and several others have...

Wow. This whole post is talking about A while referring to B. 1) None of what you describe is railroading in my book either. 2) None of what you say describes what RR wrote, imo. Like DA, you are reinterpreting what RR wrote in a way that lets you argue against it. If things...

That's not what was said. You're adding your own narrative to the events. Now maybe you have some sort of special powers that allow you to know what was said? When some one tells you that is "not how the game is going to be played" that is an ultimatum. He let him do it ONCE. Every GM...

Telling a player "that is not how the game is going to be played" is not distinguishing between expectations. It's an ultimatum. Why you choose to re-characterize this as the GM simply wanting the player to "familiarize" himself with the genre is, admittedly, a complete mystery. Perhaps RR...

Being told "that is not how the game is going to be played" is railroading a player. Others in this thread would undoubtedly agree. You seem keen on ignoring that part of it and want to insist the GM only wants the RR to "familiarize himself" with TWD. And several people on this thread have...

Really? You must be deciphering something from the OP that I am not. Let's see what RR said in his OP. After the game i was told thats now how the game is going to be played and that i need to watch The walking dead to get a feel of what the game is going to be about. Emphasis added. I...

I think we're on a different page here. It's one thing to say this campaign is in a specific setting, like Jurassic Park or Futureworld. It's entirely another to pre-determine how the characters are going to act and what actions they are not allowed to take...even when characters in the show...

Ringlerun, Assuming things are as you described them...I empathize. Both with your rant and your being confounded by posters like Janx. I think Ogre??? made some observations I agree with. Players should be allowed to play. An RPG isn't a theatrical show where you are told what to say or...

I fixed that for you. ;)

@WD, Yeah, I've seen those. Just not familiar with the term APG.

Okay, then I'll make a slight change to the character: Whyre of White Horn Male Human Ranger 1 Chaotic Good Representing Arrowhawk Strength 12 (+1) Dexterity 16 (+3) Constitution 13 (+1) Intelligence 14 (+2) Wisdom 14 (+2) Charisma 10 (+0) Size: Medium Height: 6' 1" Weight: 190 lb Eyes: Green...

eh...nevermind.

That's the only thing you have offered, which you seem to think proves something. It doesn't. But you're entitled to your opinion. I'm not interested in any discussion with you ...on any topic.

I implicitly answered that my interpretation is yes, by quoting the section from SRD that says You are considered flat-footed while balancing, since you can’t move to avoid a blow, and thus you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). As you pointed out, you need at least 5 ranks in Balance...

Kaodi, Here he is. I don't know what char gen tool you guys are using, I just used a Javascript Pathfinder generator on the web. If you can direct me to the proper tool for posting, I will redo the char using that tool Thanks. Whyre of White Horn Male Human Ranger 1 Chaotic Good...

@WD, I'm not familiar with the APG. I wouldn't know. I was being serious when I said I haven't read any of the books. I only heard about the novels from playing DDO and asking why so many people had names spelled like Drzzt.
