[QUOTE="Goddess FallenAngel, post: 3173767, member: 11434"] What I always took the ranting as is "I am playing with a sucky DM because he is using an NPC to steal the PCs' thunder, but I don't realize/want to admit he is a sucky DM, so I will instead hate all DMPCs, even those in games with DMs and groups I have never played with!" But maybe that's just my interpretation of what most people seem to be saying. :D [i]Edit: I wasn't referring to people in this thread, or any particular person in general. Just many of the quotes I have seen on this, and other, messageboard referring to DMPCs.[/i] I just don't get it. Okay, so you've had issues with the way a DMPC was run before (I guess I am using the term for an NPC that travels with the party, that is built on the same rules as the PCs, and follows the same rules). That doesn't mean every DM is going to run them that way. I just don't get the unconditional hatred so many seem to feel for them. [/QUOTE]
