I was in 5th grade and got involved with a group of idiots who I soon realized didn't like me and I certainly didn't like them. To make a short story longer, I played a thief and our first foray started with a locked door to a dungeon. As the thief, I tried to pick the lock, got hit by a poison needle trap, died, and wasn't allowed to play in the game for the rest of the night. Needless to say, I never played with those yokels again. I also don't play thieves very often and I definitely allow characters in my campaigns to grow and mature, rather than killing them haphazardly. As a player, I've run characters in both types of campaigns and I definitely prefer my style better. The other seems more like a hack and slash video game to me. To each their own, though. One of my best friends runs his games completely opposite to mine and he and his group have great fun. That's the beauty of D&D. You can run it as you see fit.Jay</blockquote>
