[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8959270, member: 6684958"] Well, I have seen it in many games. I might be the only person world wide who has ever seen it in many games. So what I'm saying is not false. I'm fairly certain I never called you out by name and said you do anything... Thought I was just pointing out that your game is just one table. Ok, so lets say that is true for that one game I know nothing about. It would help if you Quote them. If I say "Bob rolls his d20 with his left and and that is wrong", please quote that. Well, it sure is constructive when you say everything I post is wrong. 34 years. And, well, D&D 0E to 5E plus BECMI, Gamma World, Boot Hill, Traveler, Paranoia, Grups, Star Wars D6 and D20 and FF, White Wolf, Call of Chtulu, Car Wars, Toon, Marvel Super Heroes, Champions, Rifts, Star Frontiers, Star Trek Adventures, Bubblegumshoe and Savage Worlds. Various Doctor Who/Timelords, Robotech, or such depending on who owned the license when. Maybe more? I'm a self taught DM with no mentors. (check out the old times thread for crazy stories about the Time Before Time). So what common traits/sensibilities do I think are important in a DM? Feels like this question should be a whole thread itself. Focus, love of the game, dedication, self awareness, intelligence seem like a good start. [/QUOTE]
