[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 18341, member: 743"] Wolfspider: no problem, I think we've agreed to disagree before actually. :-) As for your story, I wouldn't place the blame anywhere, except perhaps on the character who decided that adventuring was the life for him. Adventuring is great work if you can survive it, but the risks are great as well. If everyone's god fudged to keep them alive, there'd be no farmers, because adventuiring is much more profitable. :-) I agree wholeheartedly that its a game designed to have fun with. We just have different views of what's fun. In your girlfriend's example, I probably would have killed her, then figured some way to bring her back, and enhanced the storyline with it. Of course, I say probably because bringing girlfriends into the discussion changes the dynamics. . . :-) I have killed my wife's characters though, and we're still (mostly) on speaking terms. :-) med stud: I could do that, but then I'd have to think of a way to get my players to go there, and I'm too lazy forthat. ;-) I'll probably end up reusing the adventure in a later campaign though, as its a pretty nice dungeon crawl, with some roleplying opportunities as well. Also, the party may decide to go after the Green Dragon some day, and she lives in dragon mountain now. Tsyr: Its DMing like that which started our no fudging policy in my group to begin with. I can certainly understand not wanting to be under another DM like that! Everyone; as for making new thread, I never mind if my threads get hijacked, so long as it takes them down a road with some interesting discussions and debates. [/QUOTE]
