Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kraydak" data-source="post: 4144689" data-attributes="member: 12306">Funny how, if the PCs act as heroes, the world doesn't spontaneously generate NPC heroes powerful enough/pro-active enough to solve its problems, but if the PCs decide to be mean, it generates far more powerful, extremely pro-active heroes.  The obvious, self-sacrificingly heroic act in such a world is to go on a helpless widow and orphan slaughtering spree.IOW, please don't pretend that you are suggesting that the world react in a simulationist aspect towards the PCSs, when you are obviously suggesting that the DM take out his frustrations on the players.In this case (and, frankly, for most such cases, which pop up every few months on the boards), it is very possible to read the story as the DM wanted to apply *very* restrictive rules for PC actions, but extremely lenient rules for NPC actions.  The DM then gets frustrated/angered when the PCs treat the NPCs according to their actions, as opposed to the alignment the DM has written down on his character sheets.</blockquote>
