[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6618224, member: 6787650"] I think you misheard what I said about "doing it wrong". What I said was that I will never tell my players they are "doing it wrong" if they decide to murder the king and depose him instead of acceding to his request (e.g. to rescue the princess, solve a murder, whatever). I didn't say that other DMs are "doing it wrong" when they give out quests. Different strokes for different folks. If you don't think non-epic activities are fun, I'm cool with that. Currently my PCs are busy trying to find a new planet for their kingdom to move to, after they basically rendered the old one uninhabitable with the vampires they created. (They've got 800,000 people in their kingdom, and a ship that can only move about 6000 people at a time even if they leave behind all of their livestock/furniture/etc., so in addition to finding a new planet they probably will also need a larger fleet... which is great, because my PCs are already interested in acquiring a fleet anyway!) Is that epic? Who cares? Not me! I just know that they care about it so I will support it. But it's fine if you don't think that sounds interesting and want to fight dragons and stuff--and if my players were interested in that, I'd tell them where the dragons are and let them go to work.
