[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 1481380, member: 4790"] O.K., I have finally found a live gaming group here in Memphis. They are all good guys (except my wife, who is a good gal) and seem to take great interest- I was given some great backstory and get lots of private and public emails about campaign happenings. They seem to be really into my homebrew world and have even inquired about bringing in a new player. BUT- I have twice now left with the feeling that at least one player (different player in each incident) felt railroaded by a poor description of mine. The most recent incident was a gate that turned to face the P.C.'s- my poor description left one player feeling he was being told it got in his way wherever he went, rather than it just facing him. How do you make it very clear that there are options? I have a great group,a dn have taken pains to make a world they can wander freely in and I HATE feeling railroaded myself, so I really want to solve this. Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
