[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 4414763, member: 16069"] Excellent advice, thanks- I've got a complex plot brewing, I've spent days and weeks (evenings) on developing the maps on RPMapTools and plotting out the campaign arc(s), around fifty sides of A4 already written, 60 encounters mapped out and populated- macros done, speeches written et al, all on MapTools- ready to deliver at the click of a button, with me doing the voices via Skype, it looks lovely- I'm making a real effort to do my own thing as opposed to relying on existing products and storylines. The worry is it's unraveling, I heard from the Cleric and the Paladin last night, that they are going to have a long (in-game) chat about the slaying of Kobold Kids, they're both opposed to the killing of innocents, my fear is the Ranger will just say, "so...", and go about his business as usual. The Rogue needs some help and the character that can give it is usally not even in position (on MapTools) to see what's happening. Having read through the replies again I now feel I'm being too harsh on the Ranger, he's doing his job afterall, the problem is the other players are either not so fixed on what their job is- they'll fill any gap, even the Wizard is looking into getting some armour (and Feat), just in case he has to get in the thick of it. The problem I think then is nobody knows what they are doing, except what they have been doing, some of the players resent the Ranger for being always out of the way when trouble hits, the solution is to get them to develop their tactics a bit and assign some jobs, the problem with this is the Ranger is already saying "no" to anything other than what he's already decided to do.
