[QUOTE="Goblyns Hoard, post: 2333319, member: 19970"] Worst example of running a game I ever had the misfortune to be subjected to: 3 PCs in a Cyberpunk style game (can't remember what actual system). OK so we're probably a little low on the power front particularly as he liked to play fairly fatal sames. But instead of preparing a game for the power level of the party we're faced with a game where we're more or less forced to hire 2 DMPCs in order to even have a reasonable chance of success. And yes I'd seen one of them as a player in another game. But that wasn't the worst part. So my gunslinger is talking to the NPC fixer... and one of the other player's characters is also talking to the guy (all of this is by phone). So instead of introducing the two characters and having us start working together the GM actively tries to keep us from meeting each other. C'mon man - the normal problem is how do you get this wierd group of people together in the same room and convince them to go adventure not how can I keep the PCs separate so that I'm just running three solo adventures in the same evening. That also wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the GM decidimg half way through the game to go downstairs and spend 40 minutes on the phone to various people to try and convince them to go to a bar with him later that night. When he came back with zero success he played another hour or so and then disappeared to the phone again. By the time he'd come back from that time we'd left... and to my knowledge none of us ever saw him again. [/QUOTE]
