[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9009684, member: 23751"] You're making a false assumption there, though. I DM who carefully planned the assassination will probably have had subtle clues out there for quite some time that the players will suddenly see now that the event has happened. They will be able to do research into who the person was and why he did what he did and come up with all the carefully planned details, which a DM who decided to do it on a whim won't have. It is both repeatable and verifiable if carefully planned, and not being done on a whim, won't be a decision to "screw that player." Again a false assumption. Since you are not using infinite dragons(or even bunches and bunches of them), using this one that you carefully planned out to the best of your abilities does come with a thrill. At least for many DMs it does. Your personal experiences aren't automatically the ones that any other particular DM experiences. While you may not experience the thrill, others do. Maybe, but then it wouldn't be D&D. It would be one of those other games that you personally enjoy. I enjoy D&D the way it is and such a change would be "infinitely" worse for me. That's not the sort of play experience that what I want when I play D&D. [/QUOTE]
