Good morning players of Sundren,
No, this topic is not about planes or any sort of flying object. However, it is about something that is on the rise - my blood pressure.
It annoys the hell out of other DMs and myself when players assume things, go out and do something, and then don't expect that it'll impact any plots or factions. WRONG. It is, in fact, to the contrary; if you are going to do something which you think might have to do something with what we're doing behind the scenes, then please, for the love of God, tell us.
I will use a recent example: Blue Wyrm's post in the 'rumours' forum stating that the Shadow Thieves are offering a bounty. Now, players may not know this, but they have a reason for being in the Valley, they have a reason for not making themselves known, and they have a reason for why they're not going out there and putting up bounties.
Usually, I wouldn't have a problem with this kind of bounty thingo - it's just that an important faction has been used without regard to the plans of the DM; and, as I said above, we hate it when people do that.
If you think that something you are going to do may affect a faction, or a currently progressing plotline, or my sanity; please contact us and ask so you don't find me knocking on your door, because I don't sell cookies; but I do have an excess of unbridled rage.
