[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8825093, member: 7024481"] probably the DM enjoys dfferent kinds of games than they do. I've seen games get completely derailed from the main plot because the Dm made things so dark and so deadly they would either refuse the main plot or get stuck protecting a town or village and not move on. My friends love role play, you give us a village of doomed souls and our hero's won't move till they are safe or we are dead. Once it become's run and let people die for the greater good or stand and die at the Alamo we take the Alamo every time. Make sure you know your players. some players just play it like a computer game die roll another character move on. If that's what's going on either you'll have to modify your DM style, give them something that motivates them to behave differently, or just keep killing them. Being in charge of the game doesn't mean you are in charge of where it goes. [/QUOTE]
