[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 3171000, member: 1044"] Weird, I wonder why the DM isn't running True20 or something if he wants to run such a low-magic game... but I guess that's not for everyone. A game like that would drive me completely nuts, and I'd have trouble getting into the story. I can say that as for "vicariously cheating" ... I've played before and spoke up about rules people were forgetting all the time, and in all of those games, the players and the DM had more fun if I just kept my mouth shut and let the game run along. Don't sweat it too much. And... I usually roll some dice to randomly determine if a cinematic idea would work (the big table idea) but if I like the idea enough, I don't look at the dice and just let it work. I'm not sure you could bring that up or not though. Maybe you could mention the DMPC is a bad idea. A lot depends on if the guy takes criticism well or not, and that's tremendously variable among DM's. (I know I'm not always too great about it! :( ) [/QUOTE]
