[QUOTE="Michael Silverbane, post: 3317144, member: 38016"] And I think that's exactly what the most salient point in this thread has been, that there was a (pretty significant) divergence in the expectations of some of the players. The guy who brought the shotgun had only ever played D&D before the event in question. So... When he made a character, he did so with the expectations of a D&D player, "Hmm... I'm probably going to be in combat, so I should have a weapon." and he tempered that (somewhat) with modern sensibilities, "people are going to get pretty upset if I'm lugging a shotgun around with me everywhere I go... but it's the only weapon with which I'm proficient. What should I do...? I know. I'll get a sawed off shotgun." He was expecting one set of behaviors to be normal, while the other guy was expecting a different set of behaviors to be normal. That situation would likely have played out in much the same manner had you been at that particular gaming table, don't you think? Later silver [/QUOTE]
