In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check? @C.Ross, seeing as my original comment which had over 30 upvotes appears to already be deleted, I think I will leave this in the interest of data preservation. When I have more time, I might get around to expanding this answer. Until then, feel free to disagree with the other 7 upvoters of this answer and leave a downvote. |

Dealing with skill rerolls by several players Along with that, sometimes rolling poorly can adversely affect the situation for the subsequent players. With the door bashing situation: a poor roll might alert a guard, splinter the door in a way that makes it harder to break through, trigger a trap, or anything else. |

How do I kidnap my characters without bending the rules? Have you never seen star wars? Trap them in a big net. Doesn't matter if they've got the force, they can still get caught in a net. |

Please stop giving the town sheriff a noogie! If your players are having a hard time determining what sorts of actions may be taken with NPCs, it's your job as a GM to provide better characterization for the NPCs. Not knowing that the sheriff is built like a mountain troll and has the temperament of an angry hornet would provide enough leeway for the players to make mistakes out of ignorance, such as trying to pants the fellow that could as easily decapitate them as shake their hand. |

How to deal with players who like to use the local authorities to solve their problems Ever heard of "police brutality"? It wasn't invented in the 20th century. Most of the time you should play along with his idea and have the guards help, but once in a while it might make sense for the guard to be a bit corrupt. |

Pre-modern farming: What percent of the population is in agriculture? ted.com/talks/… is what i thought of, but you'd have to check census data from that era to know. |

Pre-modern farming: What percent of the population is in agriculture? Also remember that, in much of human history, famine was very common. It's why we're so darn good at putting on pounds, and why it's damn near impossible to get rid of them. Given high unemployment rates, you'd probably be able to assume that there are 10% more under-nourished unemployed individuals, so it's likely that there would be 190 individuals living off of land that can support 180. |

Pre-modern farming: What percent of the population is in agriculture? Actually the family would more likely be 6+, average family size was significantly larger due to the average life expectancy being significantly smaller. |
