[QUOTE="Eraslin, post: 164712, member: 1153"] Just a single example, for now. I have a couple more, but they're currently being run to fruition in the game I'm running; so there won't be any sharing of those ones. The players are currently running in a kingdom with a quite strict caste system. Any treasures found by one of the king's subjects is property of the king, and all that jazz. The party contains: One (1) LG paladin-type. This character believes in kingdom before everything, and all that. One (1) CG mage-type. This character is not from this kingdom, and doesn't believe in the caste system anywho. One (1) CG rogue-type. Not terribly greedy, somewhat of a kingdom-man but really has no strong feelings one way or the other. The scenario: The group finds a quite substantial treasure hoard -- the first one they've ever found. At this time, they're around 5th level and have actually sold some equipment to afford eating and staying at the local inns; I'm not known for making money easy to find... The result: About 4 (maybe 5) hours, in real-time, of the players playing out the squabling over the treasure. The paladin-type, obviously, wanted to give it all to the King. The mage-type, on the other hand, basically refused to give it to the king. The rogue-type was, IIRC, bouncing back and forth between sides ("that is a good point, you know mage-fellow", "Oh ho! Even better point by the mage", and all that). The comprimise at the end of all the discussion was that they would bring it to the king, and explain the dilema. :D -Eraslin [/QUOTE]
