I had a guy like this. Round 1 (mid combat, with others still fighting): Him: I'm moving over to the wagon (loaded with trade goods) and searching it for X. GM (me): Ok, you move over and climb up on the wagon. Round 2: Him: I search the wagon and find the X. Then I'm going to... GM...

Let's not wander into Eric's Grandmother unfriendly territory here, ok? :p

I have usually only seen this with inexperienced people, or complete expletives. Normal players may occasionally slip up, but they don't try it every round like the few I've seen.

Happened a lot when I was in High School back in the late 70's and we rotated GMing every session. Moreso than that was the period where Jim started to destroy everyone's magic items in revenge for losing some of his. Or when he tried to take Revenge on Stan for losing his favorite character...

33 views and no one knows this guy? Bob. Troll. Big guy with a tatoo that runs across his upper body. Wife Susan. Use to (and may still) volunteer at local cons.

Ugh. I played a Shadowrun game with a long-time gamer/first time GM who pulled this kind of crap on me. I was a Physical Adept, martial artist type. A gun bunny and two shaman round out the group. We're sent on a mission to hijack a truck. We get to the guy, attack him and knock him down...

The Solution: Nystul's Magic Aura Duration: 1 day / Level Can make a magic item appear non-magical, a non-magic item as a powerful magic item (great for red herrings and decoys), or any variation thereof. Heck, with certain items, I consider it likely that this spell would be built in at...

A common misperception. Sure, it's their 'good' save, but they rarely have Wisdom bonuses. Hence, I have no problems with throwing a Will Save spell at a low-level Wizard with his +2, +3 or even +4 Will Save. It's CLERICS that you really do not want to target with Will Saves. I'd also like...

Does anyone here know Robert Aiken?

T'would be perfect for my campaign. The 'evil All-Father' type Human diety is Morgoth, the God of Fire and Strength. And he's Lawful Evil, so Monks would work. Yer givin' me ideas...

I've only ever booted one person from my table (as a GM). That was a long-time "friend" who was becoming less so as the years went by. In my D&D game, he started cheating. Then blatantly cheating. Then not even bothering to roll dice at all, just claiming that he hit every single time. Then...

:confused: A short while back I had a thread in House Rules about limiting the number of spells that they could cast. 19 first level Ranger spells in the PHB. Add 45 if you use the Spell Compendium. That's 64 first level spells. And you want to let them spontaneously cast???

Same here. Ragnar99 sounds familiar. Already asked if two people I'd once gamed with were involved, to find that they were not. (See earlier in the thread) Now I also know Elehpant's name and know that I haven't met him.

You know, in this situation I'd be willing to buy some things for myself, then LOAN them to the group for the sessions. Bring a battle mat, pick up some minis, loan people the occasional book. But I'm not pitching in to buy game materials for someone else to keep.

Same deal here. I keep three standard spell lists for any spellcaster I play. "Town", "Traveling", and "Combat Intense". If the situation calls for it, I can easily swap out a spell or two on any one of those lists. Admittedly, I don't have a lot of patience for people who want to play...

GM Note Four and a half years after a previous group went down in flames (they wanted D&Diablo, I wanted to actually play a ROLE-PLAYING game with more substance - and I was adamantly incorrect in my attempts to get them to play my new style). The first three sessions (of which we've run 2)...

Session 2 Story Summary Cleaning up quickly from their short battle with the Kobolds, the group decides to follow the fleeing survivors in order to make sure that they don’t get away. While Kethra is unable to find any tracks, it’s pretty obvious that the Kobolds were headed toward the Trevast...

The other suggestion I would have, after some thought, is Music Therapy. If you listen to a lot of negative music, STOP. Yeah, yeah, some people think it doesn't make any difference, but if you're listening to a lot of hate or anger all day, you'd better believe that it sinks in. If you're...

Just don't start with this attitude. Start by saying "I'm hoping to run a different style of game. Would you be up for X?"

Fine. Bye. Seriously, how much more do you need? Spot on. You don't need to say anything more. You're not having fun, you don't want to play that game anymore. OH WELL. Pack up and move on. You're not in THAT much of a backwater, assuming your location is correct. As others have...
