[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9611893, member: 6790260"] Because the economy of 3e was emphatically not simulationist and any attempt to make it so results in 404: Logic Not Found errors. Perhaps, then, it is worth reevaluating whether these things are, in fact, a [I]good thing[/I] or not? If implementing a bunch of stuff consistently makes a DM appear to be a bad guy...that might be a reason to consider whether or not doing those things is, in itself, bad/unwanted/harmful? Nah. Because then you're just driving folks away from the word go. The people who would feel that this was the DM being a bad guy to them would respond to the default you speak of by [I]viewing the game itself as bad[/I]. A minority subset almost certainly would take interest--such is the way of things, there's always some "hardcore" players in any audience--but the sizable majority would look at it and say, "Nah. I'm out. Bye." And then they won't come back, because they know getting a game that offers the kind of experience they're looking for will be like pulling teeth. [/QUOTE]
