[QUOTE="Warrior Poet, post: 2036644, member: 1057"] This is one of the funniest threads I've seen in a long time. Thanks, Dagger75! :lol: Hang in there :D I've been in plenty of groups where things seemed to constantly go wrong. A friend and I once spent an hour trying to get into a door on a space ship in an old WEG d6 Star Wars game. Couple of battle-hardened rebel alliance special forces warriors with combat skills to make the Empire flinch, and we [I]couldn't open A DOOR[/I]. We got schooled in plenty of fights along the way, too. Good times :D There's an old saying in military circles: No plan survives first contact with the enemy. This is probably one of those immutable laws of the universe. So don't sweat it (too much) when a plan doesn't work out like you hoped. It can be tough sometimes, too, when a DM has access to your information (you declare a plan of action) AND the enemy's information. I'm not accusing Morpheus of meta-gaming on his side of the screen, but sometimes the DM can see all (or most) of the angles when the players can't. Do they get . . . bored, at all? Sounds kinda . . . lackluster, stagnant . . . Do you get bored with that kind of rinse-and-repeat approach? Now that's pretty cool! :cool: Good story point, development, planning, and a nice twist on the old raid-the-dungeon scenario. Warrior Poet [/QUOTE]
