[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7505870, member: 6919838"] As always that amorphic buzzzy buzz word "railroading" which basically means "what someone else does that i dont like." contextually practically everytime i see it used. if the player hitches his wagon to an NPC (let me spell it out Non-Player-Character) then they have given the GM license for that relationship to progress. Whether that be a cleric or a warlock or the various other degrees to which that is in play the possibility of NPC betrayal is always a possibility - its practically a trope - and mostly the entire early career of one Gary Sinese. The man would have been waiting tables except for this role. So, yeah, a Gm can abuse it or they can use it just like every other tool in the GMs toolkit. Buty 20+ hours of gaming that in no small part derives from your personal elements of your character's nature - yeah that sounds like just abominable for a player... cannot see how they could stand it. I swear, sometimes i think some people see "PETron" instead of "patron." Hmm... new catch phrase "there is no E in patron" [/QUOTE]
