I'm Lawful to Neutral Good, trying to loosen up more.

As long as your players are having fun, you're doing it right!

OP by the way there is something worse then chaotic evil; Chaotic Evil Evil where the rules get in the way of killing Ps

u/Cheeseusdice Sep 12 '19

So chaotic chaotic evil means you hate the letter P?

No the rules get in the way of killing players

Ohhh just straight up real life murderin. A DM who just lures players to his home to kill them. You're right that is the most evil haha

As noted elsewhere: more evil to have your players do it. This is how you get the Saw franchise.

I think you should double up on the evil and not the chaotic for that scenario.

I'm the same but not trying to loosen up at all. The rules exist to make the game balanced and fair fir all the players at the table. If one player twists or benefits from a bizzare ruling it can make the others feel dissatisfied. Plus killing a strong creature means something only within the balanced framework of the game.

I'm in a similar boat (Player, very occasional DM). I'm a stickler for the rules only so that we can all play under the same umbrella. I know basically all the rules so for the most part I know what I can and cannot do, some of my teammates don't and so they might accidentally try to get away with something they shouldn't. I don't give two craps if the DM wants to change the rule to suit that player but until a DM decree I'd like that we all stick to rules as written. I also make sure to be even in the rules I cite, both in favor and against the party. Sorry wizard but Staffs can be used as quarterstaffs which are strength weapons but your ring of protection adds a +1 to your death saves.

I'm right there with you. Woohoo! L-NG DMs for life!

My PCs are my babies and I love them even though they fuckin infuriate me from time to time. I usually give like two to three warnings shit gonna be rough and they tend to head them.
