[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 2952466, member: 317"] No problem. I was more vitiolic in that thread than I usually am because about 2 months prior to that, I quit a high-magic campaign a DM was running. He had pet NPCs who could do no wrong, supremely simple plots he thought were complex and brilliant, was a railroading plot nazi and many NPCs had "mysterious defenses" for anything we tried he didn't expect, would spend hours surveying PC weeknesses between sessions so he could take a character down with his special combos he researched and then gloat about it, thought any character not optomized and maxed out with magic and abilities was "worthless", and in general would quote Core Rules as gospel and deride violently any view contrary to his own (especially low magic- he referred to Midnight as a "piece of ****"). I played about 10 sessions with them out of kindness to my friend who also played in the group and invited me, but I couldn't take any more. Ugh- that was the single worst game I've ever had the misfortune to play in. I tried not to make too many blanket statements, but I probably overstated things a bit as well. [/QUOTE]
