Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wellby" data-source="post: 6687104" data-attributes="member: 34639">Why do I ever neglect these forums? Such a great discussion, and one I never really engaged with in my 1980s gaming days. I now DM for my kids. So, to address some of the excellent points: The argument about children vs adults and CE actions. Exactly. Those 13 and under love to play LG, those over 13 are not allowed to play CE, but choose CN and have to be reigned in…What this says about humanity, I do not want to pursue.To tell you where we are: Shackled City. the group had just snuck in, killed Tongueeater in the kitchen of the Lucky Monkey, the monk whacked and terrified two brigands (from upstairs) who quickly gave up. They descended the stairs with these two brigands as hostages, and the hill folk/rogues in the cellar are the people we're talking about. The lawful good party members are the younger kids, and they do like to avoid violence if possible. Ergo, the deal which yes, I wouldn't have made as a paladin, but a paladin that hates violence makes such a deal…The bad guys stand aside and the group rescued Shensen. The 14 year old CN bard then says, let's waste these dudes, they killed the high priest, they are evil, they will kill us, it is 'just' to kill them, sure we 'duped' them, but come on, these guys are horrific, let's deal some justice. The younger, LG characters are feeling trapped by their decision to avoid violence, and I can't say that I don't sympathize.I've loved the level of philosophic discussion here. I hope it continues!!  finally, I do agree with the suggestion: begin the next session with a deus ex machina, they attempt to escape, they kill them, they load their treasure, and on the 8 hr ride back to Cauldron, I force the group to discuss these ideological differences, and come up with strategies to avoid such problems in the future. yes?thanks again.</blockquote>
