[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9480745, member: 42582"] So, I don't believe my house is insured against laser attacks from Mars. Do you know why this doesn't keep me awake at night, worried about losing my house and being unable to replace it? Because there are no lasers on Mars, and hence my house is not going to be attacked by lasers from Mars. Why are you worried about PCs doing things to ridiculous extremes? Why do you need to worry about bringing home consequences of ridiculous actions? (That's before we get to the question of *why would [I]the bastion[/I] have to be a place where those consequences are visited.) The poor players, railroading themselves into having their little bastion minigame, or enjoying the colour of having a family, because the GM can't bring home consequences to those bits of the shared fiction . . . I mean, when the GM has NPCs do ridiculous things, the players don't get to decide what consequences follow those NPCs into their hideouts, and among their families, and so on. Yet the game goes on!
