[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5328424, member: 54629"] Oh definitely. I always try to make players' choices meaningful. Like one player chose the [I]Spacehound[/I] talent because he said it fit with his character concept even though I warned him there wasn't much space combat in DoD ... but he insisted, so now I'm going to try to work in a bit more space combat so he can use that talent. For instance, I've got an encounter coming up where their ship gets hijacked by a shapeshifting bounty hunter who turns off the gravity to make it harder for the PCs to get to him in the cockpit (but the little Jawa PC with [I]Spacehound[/I] won't have any trouble with navigating in the zero-g, so she'll get to shine a little bit more than she sometimes does). Yeah, it's possible. It's occurred to me before. But the thing is: the players always tell me [I]not[/I] to hold back. They [I]want[/I] me to go all out. Plus, it happens sometimes in the other GMs' campaigns too, not just mine. [/QUOTE]
