Message: <blockquote data-quote="DungeonmasterCal" data-source="post: 1806390" data-attributes="member: 5388">I have a friend who can't watch the opening of TriStar studios movies...the pegasus flying toward her freaks her out.  I also happened to mention I'd be doing a Halloween reading at a local library of Poe's "The Premature Burial".  She begged me to change the subject immediately.Personally, I'm not a big fan of clowns; they make me pretty uneasy.  I'm not afraid of wasps, etc., just allergic.  I can't swim a lick, so I'm not comfortable in or on water.  But my biggest one is fire.  I don't run shrieking from the room if a candle is lit, and I can even light them myself with no problem.  But if someone tries to bring one near me, or heaven forbid light a match or hold a stick taken from a campfire close to me, they better be ready for a beating of epic proportions.Having said all this, my players have learned over the years to NEVER reveal to me their fears.  I've had people leave the room when their PC's fell into a pit of snakes, or described spiders crawling in the beard of a dwarven PC.  My sister once fled the room in order to avoid throwing up after I described carrion crawler larvae hatching from a corpse.  Another guy had to walk out for some fresh air after his character stuck his head into a normal wasp nest.Yeah...I'm proud of those.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
