[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 9389306, member: 12731"] No we aren't. Why are you so incredibly defensive on this? You keep interpreting genuinely helpful advice - or at least that's the intent - as if we're throwing shade and suspicion at you?? You don't need our permission to end your campaign. You don't need to explain to us a crash-landed campaign. Why do you act like you expected us to support or cheer for your decision? Normally in cases like this ending the campaign early is considered a failure, so we naturally assume you wanted help possibly salvaging the campaign. Not the other way around. We're not telling you how things went down. We're trying to be open to the possibility you might have looked at it from one angle and your players from another - an angle where they weren't simply murder-hoboing that woman NPC. Do we know this? No. Do we believe this over your version. Again no! We're just trying to paint a picture which might explain how your players' actions weren't intended to be interpreted as murder-hoboing. Why would we do that? Again, because when this sort of dilemma pops up, most often the pointer thinks of it as failure, and wants to know if there's anything that can be done to fix it. Now stop assuming we are out to get you or that we think you are wrong!
