[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 8164351"] I am sorry but we just disagree. I don't see why this is such a difficult thing for people to get. I literally just got off the phone with a player of mine and asked him if finding his brother's corpse in the kushen basin (in the scenario described) would be an issue for him, he said no. And one of his reasons was it gives him a sense of a real world, with real events going on outside his character if things that can happen to anyone, can also happen to his brother. He also said it would give him something new to focus on. This is pretty much the reaction I would expect from most of my sandbox players. Again, I am not saying this would be the outcome everytime. But it is a possible outcome, and there is nothing about it that doesn't hold water. Play with some old school groups and you will see this. I really don't see why this is so hard to believe. I mean, if you don't want to belive me fine. There are all kinds of ways to have fun playing the game and this is just one. Also the GM is quashing anything. The player went in search of his brother and the GM honored that by figuring out what happened to the brother, where he is, etc. If this happened to me, I wouldn't feel quashed at all. I would just start looking into what happened, and how my brother died. [/QUOTE]
