[QUOTE="Wanderer At Dusk, post: 317750, member: 4300"] 643. Refer to the Characters by there Players names in the campaign and refer to the players by there Characters names out of the game 644. Bring the wrong edition rule books and attempt to run a game insisting they are the edition correct 645. Threaten to make the players character histories for them if they don't make one on there own to your specifications (I've had some real fun with that one) 646. Try to describe something very important to the campaign while eating something like a peanut butter sandwich without any beverage and act angered when they don't understand you 647. If one of your players is a monk, paladin or cleric have any money promised to them by a patron be directly donated to there temple or order 648. If one or more of your players are also a DMs be sure to buy supplements they do not have, preferably ones with many monsters or spells 649. Get the epic level handbook, declare your intent to run an epic level campaign at any level the Players wish (the higher the better) then pull the old thanks for making the villans on them handing them blank character sheets and saying new 1st level characters (if you already pulled the thanks for making the villans on them it's not as satisfying sorry i can't remember what number that one was) [/QUOTE]
