[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3225074, member: 24357"] The play methods here make me very happy to have the group that I have. There is no back stabbing, player to player, we try to help each other. While some of the characters might resemble The Operative from Serenity, the vast majority are kind and good people. While I only have one LG character I gravitate towards NG and CG, one of our Players sticks to TN so she can do questionable things, a couple of LN characters, but for the most part we like to have the G in our alignment. Grunj spoke of a good character would stumble up to a temple of a good healing god’s temple, and not be healed before the request of a donation. This would never fly in our campaigns. Of course there is seldom a time when our campaigns don’t involve helping a good group of characters, or good aligned deity (do not take the present campaign as an absolute position on this- we are trying to save an evil giant to save a city, that giant is pretty much guaranteed to die). It’s preferred by the Players that we help the alliance of good so that we can deny evil to flourish. Something else that comes to mind- Players generally play what they are deep inside, so if you are back stabbing then I would think you are, in your personality a back stabbing bastadage. Where was it? Someone mentioned that- ahh, Kristivas, mentioned something about the tragic character theme. I prescribed to this so much in my past that I had no idea that I was doing it until it was pointed out by the GM. Presently 4 out of 5 of my current characters have families still living, healthy, well adjusted (for the most part), but I only did this because every character I played had something that sent them into the adventuring life. Its an easy path to follow. Thank you for the thread, it has made me feel really good about the group I play with. I want to thank them, so I will post this and send out an email. Hope you find your inner hero some time, it’s a great amount of fun. [/QUOTE]
