Sounds like you got issues, Jack. Maybe you should get some new
(role)players,
or maybe learn the "you have it-They have it too!" creedo, and stop
whining about it.
There ain't much reason to snap at the Lady, regardless. Try Decaf.
Lighten the frag up. Besides, if the PC's have the decisions made for
them by a house rule,
then they'll never learn to make decisions for themselves. The Cowboy may
hate all people with
equal fervor, but he does give the pathetic excuses for people a chance
to strut their stuff to the best of their
ability. Just enough rope to hang themselves or climb out of the shit
their in. Their choice.
Try it. You might get lucky.
