Message: <blockquote data-quote="D+1" data-source="post: 1997032" data-attributes="member: 13654">The True Roleplaying Way can kiss my unwashed backside.  It has no place in D&D and I've seen it cause as many problems in game - just like this one - as any alignment debacle or munchkin/powergaming ABSENCE of roleplaying.  If the player is that keen on it he should be studying Method Acting and working on Broadway or in Hollywood, not PLAYING at the dining room table.  D&D is a GAME, not a test of one's theatrical purity and commitment.Find out how deep his commitment is, because it actually sounds pretty shallow.  If his CHARACTER feels so deeply on the subject why is the PLAYER crying "metagaming" and his own character not reflexively volunteering to pay for or find another resurrection and thus ensuring what the player wants so desperately anyway?  How is this player the Righteous Judge of the motivations of other players if not their characters?  How is this player able to argue that The Trule Roleplaying Way honestly takes precedence over OTHER PLAYERS enjoyment of the game?  You can bet that if it were HIS character lying on a cold slab and everyone else at the table were telling him, "We don't give a flying monkey about what you want.  We like the NPC better, and besides he's been around longer than your character - therefore YOU JUST DON"T RATE OUR COMPASSION," that he'd be singing a very different tune.This player is just looking to demonstrate his superiority as a roleplayer by trying to prove that everyone else isn't as STUPIDLY over-dedicated to it as he is.</blockquote>
