[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 2739244, member: 10638"] [I] Exactly. We all want advantages for our character, but if we min/max, we don't go around flaunting it in the faces of all those people who didn't and then go monopolize the DM's time on killing sprees (THIS NEVER HAPPENS RIGHT? WRONG. ..AND I'M DAMN SOURED OF IT). These of course are guidelines, not rules. When I started my new campaign 2 weeks ago, we went over this stuff. We didn't make people memorize it. We didn't hold a gun to people's heads. Nobody walked out. Nobody flinched. I told them how the game would be: It's HYBORIA. Characters WILL DIE in gruesome ways and be coup de graced AT WILL by the DM. Naked slave girls will be part of the world (as they are in the books). Much magic will be NON-D&D where the DM can bend it to his will (not to FU(* the party over, but to keep things interesting). I helped the players understand the the reason why we do this stuff is to keep the games consistently 'better' than the crap games that we've all wasted time on in the past. They all agreed and my veteran players simply nodded their heads and practically shouted AMEN to some of the episodes we shared. People that see these as rules would be the kinds of people that might take them too personal (and again, wouldn't be the kind of person I'd want in the group..they're too serious about this crap). jh ..[/i] [/QUOTE]
