[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6109544, member: 6668292"] Right. You arrive late, you arrive fatigued, you arrive early, you have too much extra wealth to carry, etc. Lots of complications that don't include "death" or the like. That's why I mentioned earlier that, as a player, when you only care about your party (HP, goals, wealth), then those are the only complications that you can threaten. If everything else is ignored, then the other complications aren't "relevant", and thus you don't care about them. I can see why Hussar seems to think "those things don't matter" about a lot of things, and then think "if something does complicate things, it's going to completely mess with our goals / lives", since it seems like that's what he's more interested in. And that's fair enough, and while I find that narrow (what he called "focused"), it's a legit way to play. I noted that, too, but it seems like it's changed since then, and I want to try to stay on the same page as he's on now, so that I can try to understand what he's trying to express. I didn't feel that bringing it up would help with that, so I let it slide. As always, play what you like :) [/QUOTE]
