    The Notetaker role

    With one Legends of the Five rings game my character was a historian and took copious notes of what happened during his adventures. For some reason the gamesmaster never bothered to do so and when he examined my notes he found they were biased and one sided to my character, any relation to...

    Times we have made mistake as DMs and how we would do things differently

    Back when I started I made a number of errors as a newbie GM. I found myself in an adversarial situation with a couple of the players who seems to enjoy nothing more than trying to derail my games. I did my best to try and keep them entertained but I reached a breaking point and we parted...

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    I left during the 3.5 period, I tried to run Pathfinder for my group at the time but they weren't interested in it. There was a point when I just wasn't enjoying running it any-more, encounters started to get very similar and the increasing load of the system just had me give up. While I may...
