[QUOTE="DnD Warlord, post: 8118871, member: 7025237"] The problem is we are not always on the same page. Heck words mean different things to different people. I remember a player pitching a “pacifist” that only later did I find out in his mind meant “never start a fight but always finish one” I had a new player back in 3.5 days that I told we don’t use alignment anymore but you have to be an okay guy... no torture ect... and he took that to mean he could not play a fighter because fighters have to hurt people... min non D&D I just was introduced to shadow run. I own no books for it. I was told to expect a game like a TV show I loved called Leverage. So I made a con man with no combat skills but lots of con stuff and sociol stuff and some hacking and maxed out my starting money... the game master got pissed when I tried to not get involved in a fight... 4 sessions in I have been attacked every game and I got annoyed and blew up at theGM. “How many times did sofie or Hartson (the hacker and con woman) have to fight or get stabbed or shot, and how many times did Elliot (combat guy) have to be part of the con on leverage”. The other players (one who has played SR for years) said “you should have thought more A team, how hard is it to play Face”. I responded not hard... if I had made face. The GM finally said we all had to stop quoting TV shows...but that was his pitch [/QUOTE]
