[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8700731, member: 29398"] My only suggestion is to vet your potential players more carefully. :) Tell them these things right up front before inviting them into your game: --- I don't run 5e as written; if you're looking for a by-the-book game you're in the wrong place --- bad things can and will - not might, will - happen to your characters; if you don't accept this you're in the wrong place --- the game-world is neutral, uncaring, and out to ruin your day, and it's on you and your characters to find a way to survive and thrive. If this is not your style of play you're in the wrong place. Now, I should ask: are you running for friends, or store games, or organized-play? The latter two of these carry certain expectations the first does not, and I think attract a different and more serious (or hardcore) type of player. It's also harder to turn players away in the latter two scenarios. [/QUOTE]
