[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8693671, member: 67338"] I don't know the full context... but again I am not on board 100% with any of there styles... but what I heard doesn't sound too bad. I want my character to say "Why don't we just call the eagles and fly this ring to Mt Doom" but I want the DM/NPCs to explain "That wont work and here is the ingame reason" (and I have plenty of tolken reasons), I also think sometimes when teh PCs keep trying to find a short cut "Why can't we give it to the elder god, why can't the egales fly us there, why can't I give it to the immortal elf queen of beuity and goodness, why can't I XXXX" the correct answer for the DM is to sometimes say "Okay, you give it to X and they handle it for you" then move on to another story beat. Were I sometimes have to say "Out of game, I want you to say no" a great example is a Ranger I played in 2e. He just wanted to be a farmer... every thing he said or did was about wanting to 'go home and own a farm' and things kept coming up. I kept reassuring the DM out of game... Yes Grant the character wants to be a farmer, Rob the player wants you to keep making me be a hero instead" [/QUOTE]
