[QUOTE="The Dungeon Nazi, post: 201818, member: 4520"] I'm the DN, dude. When I get mad, PCs die. :D Seriously, this is the kind of game I run, and this is the kind of game I like to play. I'm certainly not forcing anybody to play it, but this kind of philosophy makes the world that much more grounded and real, and I think it's a big part of what separates my game from the crowd -- the very fact that this place is inhabited by such powerful NPCs means that it won't be easy to really get noticed. That doesn't mean there's always going to be an Elminster ready to teleport in and save their butts and clean things up. It's not like that at all -- usually, most of the real heavy hitters are tied up in their own affairs, and they're busy saving the world while the PCs are still low level. They work their way up the EXP ladder, start approaching that kind of fame and power, and begin earning their place amongst those Drizzts and Khelbens of the world. It results in such a much more rewarding and satisfying experience -- I can worry about not having players when they stop showing up for my games. [/QUOTE]
