[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2765726, member: 30035"] As another player in the above-mentioned campaign, I'd just like to say, in defense of the GM, that he is [i]not[/i] railroading by not allowing us to try to stop the destruction of the town. Well, I suppose in the technical sense he is, but it's not railroading in the most derogatory and despised sense of the term. He has an over-arching plot going here, in which all the PCs are vested, and if he TPKs us he might as well throw out this campaign and start a new one. I know some folks would say "then so be it", but that's not how our group usually works. I for one would really like to see this through to the end if at all possible.
