[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6403747, member: 82746"] um it is an adventure path in the pathfinder world (begins with g!?!?) all of that is answered for him.. but even if not. where do cross bows and swords come from... it doesn't matter. you mean what? magic guns... same as magic swords If the adventure path has them, then they have them... it can be... unless you want to look for a reason to say no most likely... ok I see it as the same thing... I would even go so far as to say that if a DM new someone didn't like something "like say writing backgrounds" then making someone do it before setting a date for a game is already a problem... but proof reading it to look for plagerisme is crazy... I mean hell I've had players copy and paste superhero comics into there D&D background... I guess so, as long as we can both actually agree to that... if so I'm sorry I didn't realize... it happens to me all the time so I hope she doesn't take offense. me... I guessed he didn't have fun and was told I was "reading into it too much" it depends on what the behavior is... um depends on the crime... stealing a loaf of bread so your sisters children don't die... beating the man to death who raped your 8 year old daughter... robbing the bank because that is where the money is... the WHY matters ALOT.... and I'm explaining that from his point of view it may not have been bad behavior just how he acted when board or un interested... stories are like movies... they all have plot holes when you enjoy the movie you over look the plot holes. If person A is not enjoying the film and says "Hey X doesn't make sense because of Y" he doesn't think he is being a pain in the butt... but if person B is loving the film then to them Person A is just being a know it all jerk... Both are just trying to have fun. DO you think the player in question feels he torpedoed the game, or do you think he belives he was going along with his friend who was a pain in the butt running a sib standard game. a group of 5 people sit at a table and play for 5 hours every week for 2 months, 3 of them come to enworld, and post... one is the DM who says "I put all this work into this game and it is only So so, I have players that complain, and ones that are not paying attention at all. I don't know what to do. No one is enjoying it, I try to fast track the boreing parts byt they still aren't happy." another player says "I'm in the greatest game, we only have one problem, the DM has a stick up his but and doesn't let us just go. I want more dungeons, and he focuses way too much on his railroad story." a third person posts "I have the worst game ever, the DM is over controlling and the other players don't like any of my ideas or characters, rather then complain I play my part and wait for the next campaign, but sometimes it feels like the DM just keeps skiping the only interesting parts of his game to get to the boreing monster fights" They all think they are doing the best they can. They all blame someone else... what they need is to talk like adults and find a middle ground to make themselves happy... [/QUOTE]
