Title: PC's don’t run

I ran a campaign for a group last year that always ran. I had them so spooked that if I sneezed they thought it meant that the grim reaper was standing behind them. Of course half the time it did. <Grin>

It’s a PC thing.  

My current theory is that it stems from the concept that “we’re the heroes/main characters, therefore we can’t lose”.  (Then again it could just be good ‘ole plain orneriness. ;-)

The only thing worse than pee-cee’s dying is make ‘em think you’re trying to capture them.  That will really bring out their bag o’ tricks! :-)
