[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 3277193, member: 40370"] Hmm ... well, admittedly I have noticed it before, but usually right when others were about to step over it. I remember one adventure one of the pc's opened a box he was told not to repeatedly. He decided to anyway. As he was doing so my pc (an elven fighter/magic user - this was in 1e ADnD days) leapt through the window of the 2nd story of the Inn they were at and ran like mad.... He was badly hurt from the fall but was the only pc to survive. All others were toasted immediately by an upset deity. Needless to say that was the end of THAT adventure/campaign. As for the idea of the Save button? Hmm ... to be honest I never really thought of it. On the one hand it might be a good tool for pc's who are just learning the game, on the other it could easily give way to abuse. I guess it would be allright if everyone agreed to it before the game started. I could see it's use, say, in the original Tomb of Horrors. ;) I much prefer the absence of it in the game, though.
