Message: <blockquote data-quote="BenBrown" data-source="post: 5321702" data-attributes="member: 1642">I've had many more good than bad, and a fair number of mediocre in between.There were a couple of guys who started campaigns back in my college days that I dropped out of after a few sessions.  Nothing awful, just not real interesting.Probably my most typical "bad GM" experience came in what was my longest-running gaming group (some of whom I still game with).  A Champions GM put us up (for reasons I never found out) against the PCs from his previous campaign, who pretty much handed us our butts.  I think a player revolt in that case was only headed off by the GM getting a new job and moving out of town.  There was no bad intention there, but I don't think he could see how frustrated we were.My best friend when I was 12 or so introduced a GMPC.   Kind of necessary since I was the only player, but the GMPC was always finding things that I missed, and it was annoying at the time.   Of course, since he was even younger than I was, I don't think I can fault him too much.Other than that, for the most part, things have been great. Even games at cons (the few I've been to) and things like Living Greyhawk, which I only did for one summer have been fun (in the latter case sometimes despite the written adventure).As for the long-term gaming group I mentioned above, it's produced a couple of the finest gaming experiences I've ever been in, and I've improved my GMing a lot while gaming with that crew.</blockquote>
