[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3115066, member: 35788"] That's when you lock the door! :D I agree completely. If I gamed with a player who pulled half the stuff Belkar pulled I'd simply ask them to find a game more suited for their interests. If I want to have that kind of gaming I'd spend more time watching the news of any major city - or listen to CNN more often. For me, gaming is my chance to escape into a world of heroes and people who actually are able to do something heroic rather than get stomped on by the world over and over again. I understand that isn't Rich's goal - Rich is designing a strip around D&D stereotyping. Yet I feel that at many times I have been quite vocal in my support of Rich and ehre I wish he hadn't gone there. See, I just don't get this. Yes, Belkar is a stereotype. I get that. But why does he belong? Why does Roy, V, and especially Durkon even allow him to tag along? Sure, he is stereotypical of the player who just wants to kill and get XP ... but fortuantely through good gaming and good player training I've never encoured that stereotype being played around my table. I don't think he belongs at all - except perhaps on Nale's team. He and Sabine would make a nice couple - and that's being polite. [/QUOTE]
