[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3510323, member: 48965"] Wow, this is still going... Just want to say RK, I totally agree with your point here. From reading Hussar and Rounser's posts I get the impression, and excuse me if this is wrong, that you both either run railroad adventures, or can read your players minds. I can't see how you know what will and will not be interacted with in a session of gameplay. It would frustrate me in a session where it went something like this... DM: There are torn and tattered wanted posters for the bandit Grok strewn throughout the town proclaiming a reward and asking that any interested parties speak mith Mayor Feold. Me(as a rogue): I want to find out who the head of the local thieve's guild is and see if I can join. DM: Uhm...there is no solidified guild for thieve's in this city. Me: Okay I want to post up at the local taverns and find some prospective "candidates". DM: Candidates for what? Me: My thieve's guild I'm starting. DM:...The reward on the poster is 600gp's Me: Yeah but once I start my guild I can make more than that through extortion for disposing Grok from numeroushigh-ranking citizens that want him dead. DM: How about we just stick to this adventure I've spent my time crafting. Me:...Yeah, ok whatever. [/QUOTE]
