[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5323799, member: 18701"] Speaking of being a bad DM, my wife recently took a 2 minute video of one of our games with her new HD Mini recorder. I've been debating on whether or not to put it on Youtube. It [b]really[/b] makes me look like a bad DM. :D One of the players stayed up for 24 hours working on a student film. And he still managed to make it to our game. So several hours into our game, he had been awake for probably 32 hours or so, he started falling alseep at the table while we were playing. My wife starts filming him while he's dozing off. You can see one player copying stats down for his new summoned monster while waiting for his turn (looks like he isn't paying attention), and another player is staring at the table & listening to me do the NPC actions (looks like he's bored). As I was rolling attacks for an NPC, I'm about to describe what the NPC does & says but I see her giggling & holding up the camera, and I got a little frazzled since I didn't know what she was doing. So I lose my concentration and I can't spit out what the NPC was going to say (it makes me look like a mumbling idiot). This video really makes me look like I'm the most boring and pathetic DM in existence. It looks like I've put a player to sleep, one player looks bored, & the other player looks more interested in the book than what I'm saying. It makes it look like our game must be super boring! It's really embarrassing. :lol: [/QUOTE]
