[QUOTE="Challenger RPG, post: 6033040, member: 6701020"] Ha ha, glad it was interesting. It was great advice! Thanks so much, <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> @[U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6687585"]Ramaster[/URL][/U] <!-- END TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> . I was kind of hoping the second part of the post wouldn't bomb. I rewrote the article a couple of times because it was too clunky and wordy, but then I wasn't hitting my word quota anymore so I had to add something in. That's where you get the 'example' of play from. Next up, I was planning something of a spoof on GMs. I've been kind of laying into the players so I thought it would be fair to pass the ridicule and injustice around a bit. If anyone has any ideas on "Bad GM" habits/true stories--that would be awesome! You know: rail-roading, how the PC's met, bizarre habits, cursed magic items, arbitrary/weird rules calls, killing off PCs for no good reason, ludicrous scenarios, misinterpreting what your PC was trying to do, favoritism, ignoring your character/you, cheating/fudging, etc. My players have this one story about me. It goes something like this, "Once upon a time, at first level, there was this orc who could shoot 16 arrows per round..." I don't think they'll ever let me live that one down. Me: "It was a high level orc, dang-it!" [/QUOTE]
