Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lazybones" data-source="post: 13443" data-attributes="member: 143">Thanks for the feedback.I hope it was clear that they had to check their weapons when they went into the party, and recovered them as they left.  Not that their weapons will necessarily help them with what comes next (muwhahahaha).Your point is a good one, and I think it depends on what sort of game you are playing.  I wouldn't run a "hack-and-slash" group through a city adventure, unless the bad guys were clearly identified from the getgo.  I think if a DM made it clear to players what the rules were in a high-society gathering (and let them know in advance, maybe from a character with Diplomacy skill), then the players might be more likely to go along with checking their weapons at the door.  Still, I once had a group (younger players--I was in college, and most of them were in HS) that went into a nice "peaceful" town where they were just supposed to get supplies and learn a few rumors about the local dungeon.  They immediately started flashing their weapons threateningly at everybody, started a few fights, and finally tried to knock over a jewelry shop.  That was one session that never made it to the dungeon (although it was fun in a weird sort of way, with six 1st level characters ending up taking on an entire town... ultimately three of the characters ended up at the end of a hangman's noose, and the rest had to flee for their lives).  Next time we played I just let them go right into the dungeon and slay monsters.</blockquote>
