[QUOTE="fusangite, post: 1878414, member: 7240"] I would really enjoy being a player in your game. If that kind of thing happened to my characters more often, I would probably enjoy D&D more. That stated, I am now imagining how this would have gone over with my old gaming group. And already I can see that two of my players would have freaked-out over this. So being in the right or pulling off what, in my view, is some really good story telling that makes the world more vibrant and real, has resulted in some players being upset instead of appreciative. All I can do is offer you the hollow comfort that you are doing a good job. Some of your players will never "get" why your decision was right. Some are realizing it right now. Some will be cranky until the moment they get their hands on those bastards who stole their stuff. The ones who never get it -- you should reconsider whether you want them in your next campaign. Those who will eventually get it sometime between now and the end of the campaign will be more trusting and appreciative the next time something like this happens. [/QUOTE]
