comment How much greed is too much for a Chaotic Neutral character?
Nice answer, but you already had the +1 at "The alignment system is not very good". Exactly where the answer to all such questions needs to start.

comment Tried all the existing advice, but players still never roleplay fear
@Zachiel - I'm not saying if your D&D characters run they are unmanly. I'm saying that playing them realistically usually would means that they stop adventuring and get a life. And the mechanics, and usual genre, are such that this ends the character. So you don't play them realistically. At which point wanted them to act scared once in a while is more of a quibble than any big thing, because if they really played scared you would have to quit anyway.

comment Please stop giving the town sheriff a noogie!
Every time I've seen a GM use the "everything the player says is said by the character" rule it was a GM in constant power struggle with the players and was not fun.

@Tynam - If you would care to summarize for those of us who haven't read those rules I would appreciate it.

comment Are there speed limits on thrown objects in D&D?
Why do people assume Newtonian or relativistic physics in a game where a ziggurat of proper size behaves like a perfect half sphere?

comment Are there any RPGs/settings where a character's class is not chosen but “earned” through their actions?
+1 - Also, for some reason it was fairly common to see RuneQuest 2 characters starting out as 16 year olds with only basic human skills (so a little better with a club than a 2 handed sword). Things like learning a foreign language would happen between adventures via paid training.
