Im new to the forums and stuff and i have started reading through some of the adventures that are ongoing over in the missions area and i got this crazy idea.
How does a GM handle a player who like makes their character get into fights and stuff that you didnt set up. Like at the beginning of an adventure you have a meet. Well most people just talk about how they get ready and how they get to the meet. Well what if a player as part of there intro makes themselves get attacked by a gang or a bunch of ghouls or something? Does the GM let it happen and carry out the battle while everyone else is waiting to do the meet ? lol. Would you just be like well it looks like so and so isnt showing, i guess you guys get to split her share or something and not even cover the battle? What if they pick a fight with the patrons of the club where everyone is meeting or something? Like start beating the crap out of people on the dance floor or trying to kick the crap out of the bouncer for trying to take their stuff? |
