Heroism is the very essence of D&D.   Comment   I WISH I had played in your game, Psion.  Cheers!  Posted  Of course, you have to play the game with that in mind, but I have had not problem running my game that way. In the past 2 years, my current PC group has saved an important emmisary from drow assassins, prevented the creation of the doom engine, and artifact that would create and control thousands of undead, stopped a tyrant from acquiring a legion of killer constructs, thwarted the plans of wizards who wished to subjugate the free people, saved their leige from abduction by the psionic oligarchs from the nation from which he was exiled, saved the reborn queen from permanent desctruction and discovered who she really was. The next two adventure will culminate with the laying low of a crime syndicate run by demons, the summoning of a legion of dragons, and the deposing of a tyranical emperor.  Comment  Either your players are running very good aligned characters, or ardently neutral characters serving Balance:  I'm not sure which.  Either way, it sounds like they, and you, are having a lot of fun.  Furthermore, it sounds like you're a great DM.  Kudos, Psion.  (thumbs up)  Heh, I'm more into evil now (the result of too much heroism, perhaps!  (rueful look))   I gotta create more characters who support the drow, create Doom Engines, work for tyrants (or are tyrants, or both), believe in slavery, betray their lieges in the most fiendish of ways, and make queens into concubines for their personal use.  Heh.  Sorry folks, but evil can be great fun (so long as it is the poor DM's NPCs that get thrashed, and not your fellow PCs - they, of course, have to be in on the vileness and villainry!)  Posted  I'm sorry, but it the DM has the will at all, I'm just not seeing it.  Comment  You are right.  As I said in my post above to Bagpuss, the DM has to create a scenario that is rewarding to heroes.  I wish I had had more DMs like you, Psion.  I hope your campaign goes on being the good time it has obviously been for both you and your players.  Tell them Edena_of_Neith says Hi, and congrats!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
