[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8699480, member: 6684958"] Does not bother me at all. And it's not like they will ever know. The ends justify the means. I'm not the anti railroad agency players that run from all encounters are not even playing the game. Well, they will be railroaded right into all encounters in my game. True.....but the more "different" things are, the more the "same" they are...but we don't really want to talk about such "choice". Well. I don't play with such physically violent people. And...well....no comment. I did pages ago. Deception, to do a good thing is not in any way wrong. It is so common and accepted nothing more needs to be said. Most players could care less, but many DMs are fascinated. When another DM is a player in my game and they not only have fun, but they watch all the other players having fun. They watch as all the other regular players get super focused and engaged when encountering the gnome Bix. Watching all the players express real emotions and go all out in the game to catch that annoying reoccurring gnome npc. And the DM playing asks how it's done: Railroading. Uh, sure for that specific example. But lets take another (non birthday related) surprise party. So the person to be surprised DOES NOT say "I don't want it". So you set up the party and guests and food and such, and have to deceive and lie to them so they don't find out. When they are surprised with the party they love it and like being supprised. Well, the players just thought wrong. Don't know where they go such crazy idea from any way. Well the medical ones and religious one....no comment. Meeting a child's friends is something a good parent does. Try some: A guy hates sci fi, is tricked into watching a sci fi movie and finds he likes it. A guy hates country music, is tricked into listening some and finds it's not so bad. Some guy gamers think "women can't play RPGs, and are tricked into playing a game with women....and discover women can play RPGs. [/QUOTE]
