Did I overreact or is my DM a moron? RANT

As for "stealing your kills" you'll have to excuse me but to quote the D&D adverts "someone needs to get out of his basement". Seriously stop playing Everquest, grow up a little and realize that D&D is a TEAM game not a single character out to get "PHAT L3WT AND EP'S!!11!!one!!11I11" . . . You obviously have no respect for how much time and effort someone was willing to put in for your enjoyment and have chosen instead to make said persons life as difficult as possible. I think it’s disgusting and juvenile and I don’t think you deserve a decent DM.

Imperialius, God bless you. If I ever meet you in person--and you can print out this message as proof if you like--I'm going to buy you a pizza and a beer. And that is a promise.



BTW, don't be too hard on the kid. After all, he *is* a teenager. It's just a given that he's going to be "disgusting and juvenile." I just wish they could have their own little section here at enworld, tho. :\

Dim's not that kinda guy. I call him Dim, because we called senor that after he told us the joke and practically asked us to call him that, oh well. DIm would much rather a drill sergeant tell him what to do and kick him if he doesn't do it right rather than his mommy hold his hand and tell him what to do. Like I said, we know each other. I'll jsut try to remember that if I'm ever in your campaign.

I just realized something: your grammar in this short post is even poorer than it was in your long opening post. Quite impressive, in an anti-paladin sort of way.

Or as you would say, an anti-"pally" kind of way.

It's fun to get the kill. If someone else is just nabbing all the kills, even when there are better things for him to do, that's not cool.

My advice to the original poster is: keep it real.

Spoiler

I suspect this is a troll.

He's the spanish teacher at the local high school, and none of us would be playing without him.

So a 40-year-old high school teacher is at the home of some teenagers, hanging out with them?

Yep, that's real normal.

[Why do I get the feeling that one day I'm going to see this teacher on the evening news with a coat over his head? ]

 

[Eye Tyrant]

What on earth is a 40-year-old doing playing with a bunch of teenagers? Either that dude is seriously flawed in some way or he's . . . oh, never mind.

This was my original thought as well... I'm 33 and the only kids I would even think of playing with would be my own.

As for him being a teacher, a buddy of mine that is in my group is also a teacher at my kids high school... He makes every effort to keep things kosher if he's at my house, and my kid isn't even in his class nor does she play D&D with us (or anyone else for that matter).

It's not the smartest course of action for this cat to be playing D&D with his students outside of a school environment, but that's a whole other discussion.

I'm not too sure this thread is going anywhere. There seems to be a great disparity between the original poster's idea of what D&D is all about and what I would guess the general Enworld concensus to be. In the end, the original post is most probably best described as a six year old boy dressed up in a troll suit - that he does not realise is a troll suit. Does this thread really have a point? If it does, can somebody please highlight it.

In effect I agree with Imperialus's view point (concurred by Chainsaw Mage), I just did not think it good or wise to express it on this forum. However, Imperialus, if you ever visit Sydney, Australia, print this out for your free beer and pizza token too.

I'm honestly begining to wish there were a special section for : "I wanna grouse about my players/GM/player/in-laws/group/rabbi because he/she/it is ruining my game/fun/life/marriage/egg-hatching ceremony." threads.

So my suggestion to the OP at this time is:

Tell your in-laws that the egg-hatching ceremony is important to you. Be up front about it. But should that not sway them, I suggest purchasing your own flongwizzer and be done with it.

Well, as nice as you are offering to just chalk it up to "bad DMind"...


My short answer, I would rather play with that DM, rather than DM with you as a player.
(and yes, I like to DM)

I feel ashamed I read every post in this thread as funny as it all was....

Clearly, nobody conducted themselves well at the session. Furthermore, it sounds like the campaign is, generally, badly run. This is not helped by your ridiculous idea of "whipping the DM into shape." Here's my recommendation: Ask your Spanish teacher to run the game for 3-4 sessions so people can see a more experienced GM in action. While I don't have a high opinion of him -- he can't find a better, more age-appropriate group than you guys but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he finds you guys sexually attractive and can therefore justify playing in this clown car of a game because of the eye candy factor, I'm sure he could show you a thing or two about the craft; that should give your GM some time to regroup.
