> [@The\_Hamster\_King](#): > > The activity during the D&D games has been borderline. The boy is bossy and sometimes he’s critical of other people’s gameplay decisions. His character is greedy and cowardly – always trying to get the best treasure for himself without risking himself for the team – and I don’t think he’s role-playing. The girl is less trouble, but she will sometimes have her character do random things just to stir things up. > > But at the same time, the boy is really into the game and does play well. And the girl can be be a fun member of the group if she doesn’t get bored and destructive. Sounds like an role-playing based teaching opportunity. Get greedy over the loot? Guess who breaks through the ice because his pockets are full of heavy gold coins. Or think of the parable about the monkey and the jar full of food. The monkey reaches in and grabs a fist full, but because his fist is full, he can’t get his hand back out. Stirring up trouble because you are bored? Guess who finds it. Anything from a wandering squad of orcs to the local sheriff.
