[QUOTE="Cbas10, post: 1292377, member: 6459"] Well, this seems to be a topic of three different topics: bad cliches, bad aspects of the game, and bad aspects of how people run games. I'll chime in with a couple of each. ---cliches: two-weapon drow [or insert other evil race] who now hate their origins random monsters at night tavern meetings with employers dungeon complexes full of traps [i]and[/i] living quarters the concept of "adventurers" ---annoying aspects of the game itself: the common "merchant's tongue" the lack of any character with a focus on skills (unless you want to be a rogue or a bard) the term "Market Value" instead of something like "Base Construction Cost" ---annoying aspects of games I've been in: Clerics: don't they have more to do than to wait around for "adventurers" to stumble in needing healing. Evidently they also stockpile precious gems for near-endless uses of healing, restoring, raising, etc Magic items: Ye Olde Magick Shoppe (I better not rant...) Pawning items found in ruins and stuff: why are there always buyers for some of the most expensive and off-the-wall crap? [/QUOTE]
