[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8960340, member: 6684958"] This is a bit to vague for me to answer. I know well there are people that blindly follow the rules on the page. I just wanted to make sure that is what you were talking about. I do have carefully chosen good players. It's just unlike, as many others have said, I play games with a wide verity of people, not all of them great players. That's doubtful, as they don't know. And the typical player that is not active on the 'net does not have the whole Railroad Trigger. I wish I could respond, but you just lost me nearly everywhere. If I buy a car, and want to say put in a much better radio sound system, do I spot ans think about some car designer and how they "thought" the factor radio and such was "so great". Well, no If I buy a painting do I take it home and alter it? No, can't say I've ever done that. When it comes to any game, I'm a rules are suggestions type person. It's a movie made for kids, so no death other then they might do a soft death for an old white male character like Obi Wan. Well, it is rare for a player to be so honest and direct and say "I want weak easy foes". A lot of DMs agree with the players about easy mook encounters, so the whole game is easy. The players don't need to say anything. Though in most games it is very easy for a DM to make things hard as the players will set things up that way. [/QUOTE]
