[QUOTE="Tclynch, post: 3405161, member: 49354"] OK, so here is the story. Years (maybe 15 or so) a bunch of us were doing a weekly D&D game with "M" running. Now, people liked the game and M had been running for a while. It was known that he was VERY stengy with magic (5th lvl character MIGHT have 1 magic item) and if you got an item, it wouldn't be around long. Now M and I didn't get along very well in real life. Opposite politics among other things, but things were pretty much ok when he DMed. Well, he went on a run of slowly removing Magic items from characters in the game, as well as suddenly requiring Mages (I was playing one) to have a list of all spells, in order of thier appearance in thier spell books. All mages had to account for all components and where they were located on thier person (lots of real detailed BS). We all "liked" the game but it became a struggle to enjoy it. One day my character had been hit with some spell and M required me to make separate saves for all my items (including spell book). So he says that I lost 4 spells from my book and that I should hand over my list so he can make sure they are gone. Frankly, I'd had enough. I just up an left. It was not worth it anymore. Other players tried to get me to come back, but not M. I would play in other games, but not the one run by him. Eventually, other players left as well and the game folded. M no longer plays with us.
