Killing things and taking thier stuff...

[Hand of Evil]

The answer will be different based on the station/class of who is answering it.

I will not say what my answer is.

First off Ghengis Khan is the man. Second yes when it comes down to it that's pretty much alot of the in game motivation of the PCs. And while in d&d you do this, it's not real, therefore not the best thing in life.

In my previous game their motivation was conquest, to kill opposing warlords, unite various warring tribes, defeat the invading nations and powerful wizards within their homelands etc. It was a fairly low magic game so most of the stuff they took was, control over people, livestock and so forth.

So logically, it would follow that D&D is a valid answer to the question "What is best in life?"

yep!

Hey if you want to argue with Conan and the Khan, be my guest.

If I've got Mr. CZ-52 with me, and I'm 30 feet from both Conan and the Khan, sure I'll argue with them.
