[QUOTE="Wik, post: 6691026, member: 40177"] So, um, re-read my last post. And it sounded kind of condescending. My bad, and I apologize. What I meant was, simply, that your players might surprise you. Not everyone is out for a mechanical benefit. Some just want a fun story, or an excuse to "do what your character would do". Lately, with a different group of players, we've had an adventure where they got to buy a keep, dirt cheap. And now they're using their ill-gotten gains to fix the place up. And we're talking things like "new staircases, a kitchen with an island, and well-framed doors", not things like "a new barracks, a ballista to keep out the orcs, and a great pot filled with pitch". I should mention that one player is reno-ing his house, four are renters who would like to own but cannot, and another has just moved to the area and is basically couch-surfing until he can find work in his field. So, there's a bit of playing out of personal fantasies here, that I'm more than happy to help indulge. So, yeah. If you feel the need for mechanical benefits, go ahead. You know your players more than we do, of course. But I really do think you might be surprised. [/QUOTE]
