[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7609656, member: 97077"] I think that's definitely a good attitude to have and it helps if the players are onboard with purposefully putting their characters in bad situations [I]sometimes[/I], trusting that the outcome will be fun for them even if it's bad for the characters. That's certainly the spirit of the game as outlined in the rules in any case. At the same time, as a player, I also want to honor the DM's prep knowing that he or she put in at least some amount of effort into it and that it's something of a shame for it not to see the light of day. And that's my position even if the DM is the sort who doesn't mind shelving it. Avoiding or, in this case, [I]destroying[/I] content instead of experiencing it sometimes doesn't do the players any good, even if it makes perfect sense for the characters. But that's something they'll have to judge for themselves with an eye toward the goals of play. Ultimately, as with many things, this is a good conversation to have with the players outside the context of the game to get on the same page if you haven't done so already. [/QUOTE]
