I'm a Rat Bastard DM!

[shilsen]

Reminds me of the time the party barbarian was making a desperate attack against the BBEG, hoping to keep the other frontline fighter alive.

The players all chanted "nat 20! nat 20!". I stood up and pointed to the middle the table as she tossed the die and simply said, "A two".

The die landed (completely randomly of course) on 2.

The stunned silence that followed was priceless!

I have to admit to barking out an evil "Muwahh-ha-ha".

Those are the times that make DMing worth it! ;-)

Funny. Just a couple of sessions ago one of my players needed to make an important Fort save.

So I said, "Roll a 3."

And he did.

Amidst the swearing, I just grinned and said, "Ultimate DMing power, baby!"

I've had a few "you bastard!" comments over the last couple of years, but one of the funniest was when I had a set of PCs each encounter a swarm that 'coincidentally' consisted of creatures the individual players were scared of.

I described the scene and one player turned, looked at me silently for a couple of seconds and then said, carefully enunciating every syllable, "Motherer!"

The table lost it.

It's good to be the DM

When the DM is smiling it is already TOO late to run

That's so true.

And thanks for the well wishes, all. I learned how to be a better RBDM and world builder from many of you.

My players will never forgive you for that.
