[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3861143, member: 704"] Bit of a tangent from another thread, but now I am wondering. How often have you (either as a DM or a Player) been party to a Player Revolt? By Player Revolt, I mean anything that the DM did in game that he thought a good idea that the players simply refused to accept. This can be anything from a particular plot twist, the use of a DMPC, or an attempt to nerf a spell / item / feat / class. What I want to know: 1) What triggered the Revolt 2) What form did the Revolt take 3) What was the fallout The closest I have come to an outright player revolt is in a 2nd edition game where the players ended up chasing me out a window upon discovering that they had just been beaten up by an illusion, and that the guy they thought they had just killed was not only alive, but he was going to go at it again, but this time have his small army come in on his side. (The players entered the encampment of a brutal Orog Warlord on the premise of an Honorable 4vs1 Duel.) It was not much of a revolt since the game resumed shortly afterwards with the players kicking themselves when I pointed out how stupid their plan of action had been. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
