[QUOTE="Cerubus Dark, post: 1567577, member: 3386"] I love carrots so here we go! 1) I am God and everything I do or say is Law and how the game should work. I do that only on certain things. After all its my game setting, and if I want my PC's to die at -15 instead of -10 its my rule! 2) I am a Storyteller. And everything the PCs do should contribute to the story. If it doesn't, I will railroad the PCs so they do. I am this to a point, my story goes along smoothly with or without the PC's acting on it. If a plot is rolling along smoothly and the PC's want to fight it or jump of its track thats fine with me, the story changes based on the PC's. 3) I am a Player in the campaign also. And my NPC is the main character in the story. He knows all. And has all powers. But isn't sharing with the other PCs until they are almost dead. He always saves the day. Nope, Never did this. 4) I am wishy washy. I want the players to like me. So I will not kill their PCs. And I will give them kewl Powz and things so they think i'm kewl. Only when I first started with 2ed. 5) I am not really paying attention. I have to dig thru my notes and scrap papers to find a clue about what just happened in game. Only when I have drop games. 6) I am bored. And it would make my day to kill the PCs just b/c I can in really cool ways. HEHE, this I do admit to doing to one of my buddies because I can. He always wants to play something new that has no place in my world so we find new ways to kill his characters. Some of the PC's have made it a running gag to do this to him too. We have fun with it, plus he has started building harder and tougher characters based on his experiance, now its tougher to do without me cheating him. 7) I don't really like this game and want to play another. So I will make this one suck. Thus making the players want to play another one. Even tho, I will be the GM of that one too. I won't play a game I don't like. Thats why I don't run Modern anymore, although my players want me to so badly. 8) I am above you. And I will tell you every opportunity I can how you should play your character better. LOL, this is not me by a longshot. [/QUOTE]
