[QUOTE="korjik, post: 5768456, member: 56755"] Do you have a problem with the PCs not answering a summons? In my game world, there is a tradition of adventuring, so the PCs are by no means unique. Also means that if the PCs havent done anything blatantly illegal, generally a lord who wants to give a job will just send a messenger down to the tavern with an invitation. Should the lord be insistant that the players show up immediately, the messenger will have enough guards with him to make fighting impractical. Should the players be too high a level for force to work, the lord will send someone important to the PCs to invite them to dinner. It also means that lords dont generally mess with adventurers (unless the adventurers do something they shouldnt), and definitely wont invite adventurers into the lords castle to mess with them. Lords use adventurers for all sorts of grey/black ops and getting a rep as someone who treats adventurers badly is a good way to end up at the wrong end of a group of pissed off adventurers. Admittedly, I have the opposite problem that most have. I have to be careful with describing my backgrounds cause my players will bite on anything that even remotely looks like an adventuring hook.
