[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 9395496, member: 7028579"] But that is all just pointing out that a DM can be bad. A better one would handle it differently. The check against unlimited DM douchebaggery is the players warning them they’re a jerk, and then abandoning the game when they don’t. Or five kids playing in a group and with no option to escape, duh, Keith doesn’t get to dm any more, we’ll figure something else out. I didn’t read the past 67 pages, but man do I love rules and having certainty about stuff, but come on man, when all the stuff plays out, and there’s one guy in the room with the ability to say, wouldn’t it be cooler if this happened instead, and everyone goes yeah, and he goes then that’s what happened, and everyone’s like yeah, and what’s the point hating on that? The rule of cool is on the guy with the power being cool, of course. If they’re not cool, game’s gonna be bad for so many other reasons. [/QUOTE]
