[QUOTE="arnon, post: 4561571, member: 23185"] I'm sorry... huh?!? So that all the referee/DM/GM has to do? come up with random locations and situations? Just a series of random encounters and fights? Am I understanding you correctly? What's the incentive to go on adventuring? What's interesting in coming back to a world that just throws encounters at you if there is no mystery to unravel? As a player, I will never want to play in a game that has no plot, no story for my character to get messed-up in, and no reason for my character to evolve other than go up a level. As a GM (I don't like the word referee; I'm not there to mediate between two teams) I'm there to create an interesting world for my players to get involved in, and that demands plots and stories. And yes, deep inside, I want my players to WIN, to foil the plan, to unravel the mystery... Sure, i'll do my damndest not to make it easy for them, and if some characters die in the process then fine, and if they act stupidly then they will have a very very hard time; but i will not make it impossible for them... That's not fun to anyone. [/QUOTE]
