[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2580209, member: 12037"] My campaigns are, first of all, character based. The "scenarios" aren't the main focus. The PCs decide where they are going, and I plan accordingly. If they want to walk away and do something else, then that's what they do. So, I never have the problem that I, as the DM, am trying to get the game on track. It's always on track by definition. I don't think its a stretch to define PvP as PCs rolling dice against each other. For example, what if its nonlethal combat or a mixture of lethal and nonlethal? What if they stop just before the final blow or while bleeding to death and bandage the other one up to carry the other along? It's the opposite of PvE (player versus environment) in which the players fight against monsters. An actor need not see themselves as the character to be an actor. As a DM, I never see myself as the NPC, but I consider myself to be roleplaying. [/QUOTE]
