[QUOTE="Glen, post: 911765, member: 11575"] Ok, I get called Rat bastard all the time from my players. I don't understand why but then I asked one of them what they think the most rat bastard thing was I did and here is what he said. New game started I make them write up a bio and want detailed history for there characters. Started off with some minor stuff as individuals as they did not know each other and brought them together in a caravane heading to a big meeting. they first night of game several days pas and they are going about their normal business, most of them sleeping as at this time as it is late at night, but one is awake and gaurding, he is a luminous with not much in possesions. They are attacked by a hord of monsters that compleatly destory the caravane all the people associated with it and all their items. leaving only the characters alive. Why does he think this is evil? I asked him and this was what he said. 1) he had taken all the time working out what he wanted and then setting up his character. Everything he had was destroyed. 2) His father, Mentor, many of his family members were in the caravan going to the big meeting. No one but the players survived. 3) he had worked hard on me to allow him to buy some different books to study and they were destroyed. 4) I made sure he was aware of the greif that him mother must be going through. 5) Then I made the player characters have to fufill the roles of the different representitives from the kingdomes they were with. So he wasn't able to go home. 6) As he was getting a chance to go home he found out his mother and the rest of the family was destroyed when going to visit the place of his fathers death. He hadn't even been able to greive for his father as the meetings and stuff had been keeping him busy. I don't think this was the worst I've ever done but he thinks its prety bad. [/QUOTE]
