Ever get those players who whine about life being too harsh.
Ive had it happen twice now and am beginning to wonder if I follow the rules to rigidly, if it cuts into their enjoyment of the session. In a standard firefight the TNs can easily get to 7+s or 10s or even higher if I take my time. The problem is I dont know if its me being to realistic or me having gotten the players used to being "uber" from other games or just me having whiny players. Frankly its bugging me enough to wanting to drop the campaign, only problem I have is that no one will pick up where I left off heh ;) Any suggestions? Carry on? be tough Make it easier on them? I dont wanna loose players since my core group is 3 guys strong...dont wanna cut someone out |
