[QUOTE="randomling, post: 1973672, member: 8432"] Hiya Superfly - Have you talked to your players about this? It might be a good idea to bring it out in the open with the group and ask them why they're behaving like this. If you think it's overly paranoid, maybe they're used to far more dangerous games than you run - and losing your character is no fun, so in a "killer game" sometimes the best tactic is to use every opportunity you have to recuperate and get your resources back. (Their behaving like this might not be a comment on you, but on past DMs that they've had.)
