garland81 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I had this idea for a long time and thought someone would have made it by now. I used to host tabletop GM sessions where players with high enough level would try to destroy the world out of boredom, which made me respond with heavy resistance. Typically, when a player started killing people, I'd send regular soldiers first as an initial wave then reinforcements would come as stronger more elite soldiers until the city sent their bests like mages, priests. Other times I sent mobs of civilians with pitchforks to rush them. Or summoned monsters or automatons like golems. When they went after lords, I'd have royal guards stepping in and have the lords be evacuated and on the run. When things got desperate, mages made pacts with demons and they would invade the city to stop the player. But with bad consequences if they succeed. The whole idea is that when a city was fighting for its life, they will pull any resource possible to save itself even if it meant dire consequences. This included setting up traps, ambushes, even bringing down entire buildings to stop the players. And if a powerful deity really wanted to protect its followers, they would send avatars or miracles after them. I was wondering if this idea piqued anyone's interest enough to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
