Am I too funny to Dm?

[Nightfall]

Well another weekend down, and all we did is play around with NWN. (Good game folks!) I just begin to wonder if we'll EVER campaign. I have more character sheets than I do memories OF campaigns. So again I make the suggestion of me running and I got this funny answer "Well Blaine as much as we like your stuff, we just don't take you seriously." So now I'm a little confused...is it because they don't take ANYTHING seriously, or is just they don't take me seriously? I ask that because even when I don't run they tend to do just silly things because they think it will be fun...and then they don't care. So what should I do?

 

[Darkness]

Hmm... What are your games like?

 

[Nightfall]

Generally? I try to be free-form but I do keep the plot in mind. Also it helps if I know where I'm playing, meaning in the Scarred Lands, I got that down pat. FR, well I know it well but I will admit, throw me into Vassa and/or the Rashemai, I'm a little lost.

Other than that I enjoy some dungeon crawls, intrigue and wilderness encounters. Other than that, not much else, though like I said, if I run a city type campaign, I'd prefer to it be in a city I know.

Translation:

Now I don't exactly know you, or them, so this is shooting from the hip:

"You're a nice guy, but kind of a flake. No, offense."

It's all good. I'm a bit of a flake, and I run pretty good games. Or maybe I should add delusional to the list.

Kill their characters a few times. Then they will start taking you seriously.

 

[Valicor]

Kill their characters a few times. Then they will start taking you seriously.

Ya know he's got a good point.

 

[Nightfall]

Well don't know about FLAKE, but I am a little out there.

Psion, wel I would...if I thought it would do any good. Last time I tried to, they ended up getting mad because my home made monster ripped one to shreds and only one died. They were still upset about that.

 

[Nightfall]

Well thanks guys. You've given my Dm ego a boost. That means. Rappen Athuk and Tomb are up. If those don't kill them, then I'm doing Banewarrens!

 

[Darkness]

Eh, with the Scarred Lands as your campaign world, you ought to be able to be taken seriously if you're not a total clown (which I don't think you are, BTW).

 

[Nightfall]

One would think that...Unfortunately they don't care for the Scarred Lands or as they call them "The Black Book of Sickness"
