Pft. A major disappointment, JA. So, you are one of those DMs who have good ideas about campaigns, but are too lazy to play them off after the initial 2-3 sessions. Sigh.

Maybe it's not laziness, per se, but just a lack of ideas about the details of how the characters will get from point to point along your plot-line?

Are we making you mad enough yet to get some new-found dedication?

Honestly, no sympathy was intended. Knowing JA the way I do, it seems to me that pitying him for running out of ideas is more of an insult than saying that he's lazy. And if he was able to be lazy at all, he'd probably be proud of it.

Harrasing

Bleh! Strong on words, weak of deeds.

Ideas need to be implemented to be effective.

Good enough? :P

Let the old babbling fools come...by lochaber axe or magic, their age will be rendered of no importance


8. Stage an assissination attempt against two party members

Gulp down insane spot and listen checks, newbies


10. Involve numerous party members in a life or death mission while being chased by ogiers

Where are the news, I wonder?


11. Stage a hostile takeover of a company

Even if it was legally possible, we can also try a hostile takeover by air...or of the air...their breathing air, with a firestorm.


Need i go on gentlement

Pffft, the dog barking the loudest is the less scary

Anniston would welcome a little inquisition right about now! Nice and warm in the fire, FAR FAR from that INFERNAL BOOK!

Please most munificent dm, relax, take off your shoes and put your feet up. Make a nice cup of tea or perhaps something stronger...

You have our premission to skip over some of these items, or at least make them easier for you. I mean really for number 2, Here's a great multitasking opportunity. The next time some vendor is prattling on about how to coax some blue-hair into taking her money out of her mattress or the mason jars in the back yard and put them into a spiffy new annuity his company has you can just whip out your computer and make a few posts. I'm confident you know all that stuff already.

3, just train one new agent and let her train the other two.

6, well, now we can't have scarlet getting fat and lazy can we? If you really insist on this one please note that there are several players with fewer calories and saturated fat than myself in your games.

8, assassination is so 20th century. I say just let it slide.

11, now do you really want to deal with the paperwork required for a hostile takeover? Besides it is only really fun for the lawyers. Just let the lawyers in your games mud wrestle instead. I'll put five bucks on Leif.

Now don't you feel better? At experience point time remember which player took pity on you, empathized and tried to lesson your burden as opposed to all those greedy souls who kept demanding more and more.

ROFLAFAO!!!

This intermission has been brought to you by Player-DMs for Happier DMs. "If we can't suck up to each other, who can we suck up to?"

Now back to your regularly scheduled games or whining about games, whichever comes first.

Hey Lou! That's right, I'm talking to YOU, Lou! What do mean by acting all innocent and goody-two-shoes? Why, if I had anything to say about it, I'd just up and dunk your head in the toilet! Hey! Waitaminnit! I DO have something to say about it!! Your gettin' a swirly, pus-head!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Lou
no offense, Lou, this is me acting like a Pro Wrestler. Just slam me upside the head with a metal folding chair, I'll give you a swirly, and then we'll go get a beer together.

I hate blue toilet water! It kills the goldfish! Ouch! Darn safety electrical outlet. Can't shock you if it cuts off the power. But it's dark in here now. I'll just slip around and slam the toilet seat on your hand! Where's the Real World cameras? I need to smile for the camera. Wait! It's dark in here. Where'd you go?

Did my casting of Faerie Fire occur, or was it foiled by some mysterious force?
