[QUOTE="Tom Cashel, post: 156683, member: 321"] When you put it that way, I must agree, Daniel. "[i]it sounds like you don't want the PCs to choose their direction[/i]." I see how it could sound that way...actually, 3 out of my 5 players are brand new to RPGs and the other 2 are out of practice. My camapaign had been pretty linear so far, simply because they don't know enough to pick their own direction. Believe me, I've left them options and we've made little progress on those occasions. I am looking forward to the point when they do self-motivate, because I do love to improvise. (Probably couldn't tell from my posts here...) Anyway, I still think there's not much else to say without knowing why the DM chose to throw the halfling out. I think I just read the original post a little differently...the player griping about how he was made a fool of, and he argued with the DM, "and my wife agreed with me too!" Sounds like there could be a [b]lot[/b] of reasons why the DM did what he/she did...not all of them related to game mechanics. But I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
