[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2068049, member: 63"] Dr. Tom Jones sings And flusters when we derail His heroic plots. I believe my friend Tom Jones is now a doctor, as of this weekend. He has DMed two campaigns for me, though I came late to the first, and the new one is only half-done. He enjoys using accents, and though he dislikes it when players want an explanation for inexplicable things that the villains do, he always lets us find out eventually. This is the man who had us fight a ceiling-walking, spiked-chain-wielding vampire with combat reflexes. When we jumped up to try to attack him, he got an AoO on the way up, and another on the way down. Yikes. Tom's fun to play with. He reminds us as players that we should be heroic, because that's what makes the game fun. We give him a hell of a time, but he keeps coming back, and he hasn't killed us yet. Do no harm, and all that jazz. Stanely, we called him. Chain-smoking sarcastic friend, claims he hates us all. Michael Gallogly, though, has to get my nomination for best GM I've ever had. He's just funny. He knows how to make fun of someone with just the right tone that they'll laugh at themselves in amusement, rather than become angry. His plots have included such bizarre twists as a kobold sexual holy day, a warrior who fought with dual immovable rods, an ancient secret society devoted to saving the world through origami (run by a man named Morpheus), and a tragic defeat that forced the PCs to integrate into dark Elf society for the rest of their lives, becoming the best dark Elf bakers ever. I co-DMed with Mike for a while, and though he eventually gave up because the PCs in the group were wildly mismatched for the plot, he never let me down. His NPCs were always hilarious, and he just made the game plain fun. Like when the PC barbarian bard refused to give up his cursed +5 keen scythe even after it started making him bleed from his eyes and . . . other parts. Or how we spent an hour of game time discussing whether to open a book that was sitting on a pedestal in the middle of the arctic -- the book wasn't trapped, since the guy who put it there figured putting it in the middle of the arctic was deterrent enough. Or when we found a rare and wondrous magic item -- the amulet of protection from vegetables (which ended up being critical to saving us when we were attacked by a grain silo). *grin* When I first met Michael, I called him Stanely for a month, because that was his PC's name, and he did such a good job convincing me he was a dim-witted guy who worshipped chickens, I didn't want to doubt him.
