[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3424671, member: 41321"] There's an easy solution to this... as the DM, the next time a problem happens in-game that could be solved or made easier by a SOP, tell them to make one. ;) Give them paper, and say something like, "Okay, we are writing down a default marching order. Unless you specify otherwise, this is how you'll be marching the rest of the game." Let them argue over it and change it whenever they want as the game goes on, but that one argument over the SOP will be a lot shorter than the next fifty arguments over marching order. And once they make one SOP they might get the hang of it and make more. Just make sure you keep good track of them and let them revise the SOPs whenever they feel the need. [/QUOTE]
