Running.

implement something where if you run you aren't as careful and can't detect as much oh wait that already exists unless you're an elf in which case you're inclined to frolic everywhere anyways wow ok

My barbarian doesn't run because she's always encumbered... and she's lazy.  I love just strolling up to things in battle or hanging back and throwing axes or goblin dung or whatever random thing she's carrying.

Seriously though... this topic made me lol.

I confess! I run through the Nobles Gate because 95% of the time, there's nothing going on in there.

Honestly, I've been extremely guilty of this recently. Shit, even if people ARE around. More of a time issue + boredom for me, but nonetheless, the reason stands. Really though, walking has some serious bonuses and I'm the only dolt who does this frequently.

Well, running does have one major weak point is that it prevents anyone from interacting with you, especially frustrating when you are trying to get PCs to help your wounded NPC crawling on the floor and people zoooom around <_<

This is especially true if you want to have setup time to setup a little encounter.

Taking your time => More predictable => More setup by DM => Better Event!

That said, by taking time, I dont mean DO nothing. You should always do something. Whatever that something is, even if that something is walking back and forth across the city appearing to be busy.Not much chance to run an event for you if you just stand there. :(

If i'm on a DM event, or am about to step into one, chances are i'm not alone, therefore i won't be running unless we have a valid IC reason.

[Beatofficer]

I really don't get this at all. There is no reason why running places would not be IC. Maybe it's just me but if I have someplace to be, and I ever want to get there faster, I'll run. Both IG and IRL (no car), I run places all the time. Just cause you're lazy in real life shouldn't make you lazy IG.

Three pages...wow.

If you run, you run, if you walk, you walk.

If you Thomas, you Thomas

I'm testing my new superpowers on this thread which has served it's purpose.

I run at least three miles per week to stay in shape. Maybe some players just want to stay healthy?
