DMing: Players taming everything

N00b mama hits the nail on the head again with the DMing insights in this comic strip.

Players do try and tame everything. Can’t blame them, though, as it can be an effective strategy to get out of trouble and gain an advantage.

The thing is, taming wild and angry creatures isn’t quick. It’s a process that can take months, if not years if it’s possible at all without magic.

As a DM, have you ever let players tame a creature?
