Even the most greedy and cynical gamer is willing to roleplay once they are the center of attention. That is, they are willing to roleplay when it’s difficult or impossible for anyone else to roleplay along.

Which explains why the DM is always so eager for a chance to kill them off.

Which explains why players are always trying to twink out their stats and build characters of ridiculous power.

Which explains why they get so uppity in the game.

Which explains why the DM wants to kill them so bad.

  1. The way this was done in DM of the Rings is a prime example of “You had ONE THING…” considering Gandalf gave Aragorn the “quest” to heal people just two comics ago.
