[QUOTE="Psion, post: 4359704, member: 172"] You are free to do so. The point being you were asking a question/making a point that had already been addressed. I'm not in the mood to repeat myself anymore. I can only conclude you didn't read the intervening posts or feel as if you repeat what has already been said, it will somehow invest it with objective merit. That's an odd definition of railroading. No definition of railroading I am aware includes the mere act of introducing an encounter when they might not be up for it. If that's railroading, then any adventure that features encounters that aren't sitting there waiting for the PCs to get there is railroading. If it doesn't work for you fine, but I'm not going to subscribe to your personally selected definition of railroading just because you think it will make me feel bad for disagreeing with you. I don't feel bad. My players have said things to me like "your games are legend" and asked me if I can schedule additional sessions beyond our normal ones because they can't get enough. I don't accept your scorn. I suggest if you don't like the way I run things, you don't exercise it in your game and stop trying to talk down to me, because it's not going to work. And that mocking characterization has already been presented and dismissed as hyperbolic/not necessarily the norm. You don't like risk/resource management as a result of meeting threats when "off peak" then don't include it in your game. That doesn't mean it's "wrong"; I happen to think it's an enjoyable aspect of the game. [/QUOTE]
