[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5583934, member: 8835"] Ryan's points and tests are valid. Other things to consider: how much time is passing between sessions? You mention war taking place in seasons, that's Spring until Fall. Has this war even lasted a year? are your PCs cold-blooded contract killers, or :):):):):):):)s? There's a war going on, and the good guys need your help. You're seriously going to go polish your money and dungeon delve when they're asking for your help to kill some people? At the end of each session, has the GM asked you what you plan to do next? If not, he's writing himself into a boxcar. the problem being, if you go try to explore some random dungeon, he's not going be prepared, and you're risk of railroady behavior will increase. He'll thwart your attempts to alter course and worse, force you to go on his mission that he wrote material for. Additionally, in-game, whenever there's big problems afoot, you have to consider that you really don't have a choice. People of action are where the action is. While the nerds may still stay in their labs researching new things, men of action go where the action is. Plus. it's a freaking war. What person goes spelunking when there's a tsunami headed their way. [/QUOTE]
