This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Meh, that stuff has a limited shelf life and if you play dirty pool your players will also. So use those tactics sparingly.

It was just an evil thought, I'm not going to do it. Reality is a hell of a thing tho'.

Quote from: Axiomatic;753122I'm pretty sure that spitting on the ground in front of adventurers is selected against by evolution. Over years, the setting very quickly becomes composed exclusively out of towns that didn't spit in front of the adventurers.

Only if you're assuming the sort of setup whereby the adventurers are more powerful than anyone else nearby, and have no constraints whatsoever on their behaviour.

In my own game the PCs (and their retinue) are some highly capable badasses, seasoned warriors and warleaders all. But the city they are working for can call on over 500 citizens to arm up and defend the community; and besides which without the city they have no work.

Furthermore, if they're inside the walls of the city, they do so without weapons or armour, since as foreigners they are not permitted to enter with them. A not uncommon law in colonies on "barbarian" shores with a long history of dealing with local discontent.
