[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5584633, member: 6668292"] Ha, no worries, I knew it was hyperbole. Though, it got the point you meant across clearly to me. I'm sure you're a good GM. Since I'm still rather new to the site, I've only really seen your input in other threads, but I found it interesting. At any rate, maybe it's just my players, but they tend to latch onto things for me to build on easily. They will pursue one thing at a time, and I only have to worry about the ripple effect their actions take with this one pursuit. Sometimes, it's fighting for the government mercenary style, sometimes it's fighting the demons on the realm, sometimes it's looking for gold wherever they can get it, sometimes it's just being on the run while town guard hunt you down. Honestly, it ends up pretty similar to my previous style of play, except that I'm much less hands-on with plot.
