[QUOTE="Drowbane, post: 2698443, member: 23396"] Back in 2e, my group had several different DMs. Everybody had one or two main characters that they could play in any of these DM's games. We were in Highschool, and cared more about just having fun than story continuity. So if one DM wanted to run something for lvl 5, but nobody had been to lvl 5 yet... so be it... his game is part of the character's future and we do it. Oddly enough this made for a wicked cool storyline... tracing it is like following a wind-blown spiderweb... its all over the place. Anyways. One of the :coughA-holecough: DMs decided he didn't like my character using a Katana. Everybody else was cool with it. But he hated the fact that it did 2d6 to everythign and had a spiffy speed factor on top of that. So in the middle of one fight... he had it detonate by an invisable Psionicist... one we never heard from again.. .much less found. So yeah, the other DMs just had waved it as "Oh, that whacky Scott..." and the event was ignored. He didn't DM very much... as nobody really wanted to play in his sessions. Oh, and in Shadowrun... this guy sent ghosts after the party sniper because he didn't regret the kills he made on the job... what a tool. [/QUOTE]
