[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9644637, member: 6684958"] I could re post old post where someone did post something exactly like I said.....just in the "sandbox words". But it is such an up hill battle. Once I said at least one of every player in a group will cheat....and plenty on the internet swore that in years of gaming they had never met or even heard a rumor of a player that cheats. You can't really engage with people like that. Right it is always the words. I use words descriptively. RPG posters have an alternative dictionary. I'm more for the natural street smarts common sense intelligence, not the "look at my paper on the wall". To be fair, I'm happy for players to make an appeal........outside of the game. I keep my Sundays open, so if a player wants to come over and complain that his 2nd level halfling ranger "should" have been able to jump off a cliffside a straight distance of 1,000 feet and catch a flying dragon's tail in midair, I'm open too it. Few do....but some have. Though some of the worst are the 'fantasy ones'......I say the portal made by the elves won't cut people in half if suddenly closed and will just push them safely to one side or the other....like a safety feature. Player Bob wants to demand that foes can be chopped in half....because it is cool. Yea, I get some people call "shopping for new boots" an adventure......but there has to be a separation here. Players in a D&D game make action adventure characters....and then what to plant corn or drink in a tavern or some other Slice of Life stuff....and still say "wow, what an amazing adventure!". But it just does not compare to say "fighting demons in the Abyss". But there is nothing wrong with it. Sure they make lots of silly cartoons that are "TV shows", but we sure don't consider them "real" TV shows. [/QUOTE]
