I'm not sure if it's him or his personality or his lack of experience or what, but he ruins more plans than he helps. Did I tell you about the time he ruined a plan, sometimes one he made, by angering the guards outside the building they were entering?
I'd have to be more specific, because he's done that in everything from low fantasy to cyberpunk.
Yeah, some people do crazy things. Like get themselves kicked out of taverns and cost other part members gold by damaging the furniture in an attempt to imprison random townsfolk.
Oh! Did I tell you about the time he complained about starting the adventure in jail (as a rogue), and then he got into trouble with the law in
every town they went to?
of course i have to ruin the plans of the GM, thats half the fun of roleplaying!
I was referring to the plans of the other characters you've ruined. Or your own plans.
and if he was not armed, what kind of fool walks into a dungeon unarmed?
Um, a healer? Whose only purpose there was to let you guys heal between battles because no one played a cleric?
my character was taught that healing people was one of the highest ways to praise his god- the god of healing, and that hurting people was bad, and that peace is a very good thing.
Are you alright? Next thing I know, you'll be capitalizing your sentences!
...The best experiences come from the time that the players went somewhere the GM didn't expect, or accidentally prevented an important event in the story, or killed the main villain before the GM expected. The best roleplaying story I've ever heard was the result of a character accidentally throwing a flask of acid directly in the face of the party's godlike employer, prompting a full manhunt and eventually leading to the party attempting to overthrow a city and attempt to defeat him and keep him from resurrecting.
My experiences support this argument.
Especially the times when someone (zk) screws himself over. Did I tell you about the time that we were playing GURPS, he angered some guards, and then hid in the ground and waited for the other PC to show up? (The best part is, he rolled so badly on his roll to guess when that would be that he came out to see a completely empty and primarily ransacked castle.)
I've gamed with this guy a lot. Most of the face-to-face campaigns I've been in, in fact.
