Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hatchling Dragon" data-source="post: 99353" data-attributes="member: 580">Ok, lemme try again...Apparently I'm not explaining things well enough, or others are reading something into my words that I'm just not seeing.A few points:  I wasn't disrupting the game, the DM did that when he kept asking me what I was reading (the FRCS acutally).  I wasn't reading any adventure notes, he tends to make things up on his own, and it's frankly no fun if I were to know what's going on.  This is in spite of my utter lack of "Sleuthing Skills", subtle to me is a small rock thrown at my head to get my attention <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I'm 'rules official' because I asked if they wanted me to, since I had recently read the 3e rules and didn't have any of the 2e stuff cluttering up my memory making me blur the line as it were.  They agreed.  I did have a problem with interupting (usually after too many Mt Dews, I was hyper then) but that's did, not does have a problem.  Far as I know it's solved, the DM's got no problem letting me know if I interupt.I was bored and inactive becuase my character had no way to know anything was going on at all, and I'm not going to pull some lame excuse outta my ... er... ear, and say something like "I think I have to go potty, I'm going to leave and..." just to get into the action.  I was supposedly in a hidden (and sound-proofed) magical-type lab doing repairs on an item we'd found in the Naga's lair (assuming it's really a Naga).  In actuality I was in an illusionary root cellar or something, but I didn't know that till far too late, I was gassed unconsious as the Illusion dropped.Yes I know that rules have to be enforced at the table to 'keep things flowing' and agree totally with that idea.  Then again you have'nt seen some of the goofiness at our table, with my contribuition being laughing myself sick at the foolery going on.  I was only chatting a bit with others that weren't active (off doing something else, 'on the way' to the fight, that sorta thing).   I don't chat at people that are actually 'active', unless it's to mabye point out (via note or whisper) somethign they may have missed or missunderstood under the 3e Rules.  And I try to keep that to a minimum too, cutting it off if that person 'gets thrust back into the spotlight' as it were.And we've met a number of sessions now, yet these rules are just now creeping up.  Espeically that "I'm not going to allow all spells, ask me first." rule.  I think the only non-PHB spell I even have was at the near-insistnce of the DM.  A spell I'll add that I have yet to use, and doubt I'll ever use.  Not a huge deal as I couldn't think of anything else to pick then.I just wish I knew why everyone's repling to things that didn't happen, or that I'd said were already resolved (ie: my impulsiveness/interupting).  I'm sorry about going on about a relatively simple matter, but I truely hate being missinterpreted, especially when I tried to make myself totally clear from the start.My biggest issue isn't the rules per-se, those are all pretty normal and what I'd sorta expected.  It's that they're not the rule we started the campain with, he seems to be changing his mind as he goes, and not even that is totally consistant.  He claims DM'ing experience, and his Rat Bastard'ish level of deviousness seems to support that, but his changing the ground rules is another matter.Well, done it again, rambled on some more.  I just can't leave something this badly missunderstood.Hatchling Dragon</blockquote>
