[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9358991, member: 6915329"] Well, it's a good think I didn't say that people should figure out their world's legal system, now isn't it? Here, let's look at what I wrote again: And as I [I]also [/I]said: But here's something to keep in mind: the players did not grow up as peasants in whatever the setting happens to be. Thus, you need to communicate to the [I]players [/I]what the government is like by using words like "fair" or "corrupt" or "requires bribes to make things happen" because that lets the players know how to respond. Also? Most people are not going to run their games to be scrupulously accurate to real medieval politics or mindset (not that we actually [I]can [/I]know how medieval peasants really thought). To many groups of adventurers, a ruler who demands presents before being seen? A jerk, maybe even evil--doesn't the ruler know the adventurers are there to do them a favor by killing their monsters for them? They should be giving the [I]group [/I]presents! [/QUOTE]
