She's a very very careful...You're absolutely right. She's a very very careful and methodical adventurer. And to boot, I certainly misspoke by calling her character a "hero". By the gods, that's not till 9th level! We all know that. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I think that the frustration stems from her reluctance to move forward in the face of any kind of adversity. She is certainly a "sit and think it through" type person in RL, which sometimes affects the game...I don't want to say "negatively" because that's incorrect. I appreciate her methodical and thoughtful approach to most situations. But unfortunately there are only so many hours in a day, and only so many hours that one is able to set aside for a session.<BR/><BR/>I need to find an equitable solution. My younger daughter and wife are a little more impetuous and "eager". Truth be told, it's actually a pretty good balance. It's during the game though that things can get a bit heated. Interesting dynamic, and I'm not complaining mind you...We ARE playing after all! :-)Gamer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006232842482959060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969113154047000317.post-35155678794079810162009-03-03T00:42:00.000-08:002009-03-03T00:42:00.000-08:00Regarding your eldest daughter's tentativeness...Regarding your eldest daughter's tentativeness:<BR/><BR/>Methinks she is more old-school than her pappy! She is second level! She knows she IS NO "hero"... she has what? 10 hp or so? She sees sword on the equipment list inflicts up to 8hp damage! Two strokes from those and her cherished Elf is a goner!<BR/><BR/>Clap yourself on the back your daughter is paying attention to her character's quite probable demise and doing everything she can to avoid such an untimely ending ...she may reinvent the wheel in the oldschool way --invesigating/manipulating the given environment for an "edge", conversing rather than hackandslashery and of course Ye Auld Standby ---Run!!<BR/><BR/>No one in OD&D, B/X or AD&D is a "hero" unless they choose to be one, they are Adventurers! Let the foolish squander their meager hp at low levels being "heroes"! Tis better to pilfer and plunder gold for those much needed XP say I! MWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
