Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4148274" data-attributes="member: 710">That never happened in my games, either. Though I remember some people taking long bathroom breaks (but not during rounds), and people sleeping (but not during combat, and there is/was only one player I know that had the problem, who sadly is no longer among us...)I am getting a bit tired hearing this. My first answer:  You must altered something. Or ignored something. Or have different sensibilities. You probably cheated or something. or you had fun where the rules certainly didn't suggest you were allowed to. What do I know? Fact is, you did it wrong, and I am glad you can't do it wrong any longer in 4E. Now you will only have fun if the game mandates it. (BTW: Wasn't there a mandatory fun webcomic?)My second answer: Or you are just a better DM then me. I know that my idea of a "quick, run/fight your way through the center of this wandering ice storm before it destroys the next village" didn't work out as I would have liked too. Yes, it was my fault. The "run through the dungeon" shouldn't have contained more then 4 encounters, or maybe more, but each of them with a lot lower EL. But I couldn't pull it off, since I want every combat to feel exciting, and my (Power)gamist players only have fun when they are firing spells right and left and are dropped to 0 hit points at least once per combat. I just can't work well with the tools 3E gave me. I think I might work better with the new 4E tool set. I fully admit, I am a lesser man for it. But I always suspected something wasn't right with me, and I never believed it could be something good. So, here it is. I am a bad DM. Horrible, in fact. I might be sometimes okay (at best) at coming up with a basic storyline including the prerequisite twist and stuff. But everything else, I am bad at.</blockquote>
