[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 892906, member: 1194"] After reading back the thread, I'm still surprised that it's not OK to ask questions of a DM. I asked pointed questions that were not phrased as some would like.... Shalimar went way out of her way to inflame player questions into a big brouhaha..... Jemal responded aggressively. Big whoop - I phrased questions wrong - she had a bad week - he had had enough- it happens to all of us. The only thing that seperates adults from kids is the ability to interact with people of different styles and approaches than us, and the dedication to not 'pack up our ball and go home' if it's about something that we want to do. So do we still want to play Vampire, or not? I can't believe that smart people like us would let little stuff get in the way of having fun. If Tokiwong is still reading, or considering to DM Sabbat, I humbly ask: "Why did you choose Barcelona, Spain? And why 1978?" Is it OK to ask questions? [b]I'm not telling you what to do[/b], I'm asking why/how these restrictions that I see as limitations can better the game, or enhance the game for all concerned. If Barry is considering DM'ing, my questions would be: What character generation method would we use? I don't know Sabbat character generation, but I would love to try the method I posted earlier, that actually allows us to have Skills more than 3 without bankrupting our point allotment. Explanation of [b]request[/b]: My approach is that it is more fun to be able to play a character that is very good (preferrably [i]uniquely[/i] good) at [b]something[/b]. It is very difficult, and costly, to be very good at something when your max ranks in skills is 3. I have no other CharGen requests/preferences other than that. [/QUOTE]
