Han solo will work for this adventure.This comment(and others like it) will be the most intently listen to for my plot. I will change all of those statements in my campaign story to :Figure something the heck out if they don't do "this"My Players would probably find this more funny than frustrating.I think the hardest part of asking advice from everyone, is that I know the players. I know what they want, and it's impossible to please every type of player in one campaign. Our attitudes mesh. Kenny the guy I am most worried about is the kind of player that would say, "I wanna eat the cube." but here's why I dont just tell him the cube is dangerous to mortals and kill him: he understands the game.and I now know that the players "like" to be railroaded, with the possible exception for sam, the current DM. He's railroading us like nobody's business. But we understand he's got a story he wants to tell and thats what happens when you screw with it.in our currant game:Sam: the path across is blocked by a wave of fire 10ft thick and spanning the bridge. a trail to the bottom looks safe. (or something vaguely like this scenario)Jon: I wanna go through the fire.Sam: really?Jon: yeah, I got fire resistance, I bet there's a save involved, I got healing and good saves. I wanna try it.Sam: you take 5d6 damage half-divine half fire, no save. *after exiting the fire* the ceiling starts to come loose, it blocks the path forwardJon: I wanna climb over itsam: ok, but first make a reflex saveJon: result 22sam: *sighs* another oneJon result 18sam: another one (no explanation given)Jon: result 12Sam: ok, now one moreJon: result 17Sam: *sighs again* ok and a climb checkjon: result 4Sam: Ah ok, you fall off the bridge take 4d6 damageJon: I knew something was telling me not to go through the fire wall.Pretty much in our campaign, its known that there is a correct, or at most 3 or 4 correct paths. Diverting from these will result in pain and will ultimately be futile.For example, if they throw the cube away, it comes back the next day, and some random PC has a negative effect on them for few hours (which, believe it or not, actually makes sense with my storyline)bottom line, i see that railroading is only bad if the group deems it bad.</blockquote>
