[QUOTE="thulsa, post: 399521, member: 5776"] [b]Meatgrinder, etc.[/b] ColonelHardisson: Thank you for visiting my Conan site, glad you enjoyed it. For specifics on the character deaths, I direct you to the Graveyard site I posted previously. I'm sure we could go on and on and beat this subject to death, but in the end it's all about whether the DM should be allowed to control his or her game. Now, when I say "control", I mean control within reason. If I was a dictator, nobody would want to play in my game. Remember that this thread was started by Ormraxes, so that he could whine a little about not being able to get everything the way he wants it in my game, and using all you people out there to try to strengthen his own arguments. That's true. But from Ormraxes, who started this thread, there has [b]never[/b] been a [B]single written line[/B] of character background (not in this campaign, and almost never in other campaigns). So understand that all he cares about are his stats, his level, his XP, and his magical items. I don't intend to bash Ormraxes (he is still a good friend), but I should also like to mention that [i]he has not suffered a single character death during RttToEE[/i], and that's mainly due to him being extremely cautious and a coward, letting the other party members do the dirty work of actually facing the monsters -- even though Ormraxes usually has [i]the best AC, the most HP, and is of the highest level[/i]. Anyway, to get this thread into more constructive subjects, I'll be back tomorrow with some examples of PC play style. Then we can discuss whether I am too hard on the PCs or not. Stay tuned. - thulsa ============================================= Roleplaying in Robert E.
