[QUOTE="runescience, post: 3947755, member: 15942"] well i sent him an email, and he wrote me back as follows. So? the next question I have is "as a person who likes to play characters in a heroic way, how could I adapt my play style to function under a sadistic dm? It seems to me that the reward for heroism in his world is getting screwed with....? ---- from the dm? Other people have curses too, but they dont know it. Yours was simply obvious. As for the Sagat issue. I tried to do everything i could to not let the characters get the bottle. But I will ultimately let the characters do what they want, and you rolled well enough to get the bottle. As for messing with. I've been messing with Cowron pretty intently. I will make it more obvious that other people get messed with too. In my last campaign, the characters were imprisoned and tortured for a while, the female character had "other" problems. I wont go that dark since there are minors, but I will mess with the characters. I've had characters have to adapt to missing limbs, fractured psyches, level drains, etc.. Just dont take it personally and get angry. Others will get there turn and the torture. [/QUOTE]
