You starve to death." was hilarious.We were playing a 10th level adventure, someone touched the wrong door and had to make 3 saves at DC 38. After that we were playing paper-rock-scissors to see who took point.Pet peeves about myself:I hate being wrong. I like to be extremely versed in the rules and i dont like being caught unaware.I root for the monsters. I know my creatures wont/shouldnt take more than their 20% from the party, but i have fun roleplaying them and tactically running them with all their perks. Its fun for me as the DM, not so fun for the unlucky that gets 20-20-hit.My npcs dont pander to the players. They have stable jobs and their own lives. Player characters should be given more respect, i should fix that...someday.Pet peeves about players:*PCs that start the game without a name*PCs that are antagonistic to everyone*PCs that write down their alignment and play it the opposite*PCs that think that all the NPCs are scrubs and owe them somthing.*PCs that develop lop-sided characters and complain when their overt weakness shows.*PCs that dont try to get involved*PCs that avoid the hooks and the adventure totally*PCs that scrap characters when things go poorly for themPet peeves about GMs:*GMs that bend the rules to placate a specific player.*GMs that dont prepare anything and wing everything.*GMs that circumvent/avoid player abilities; sneak attack and deflect arrows were great examples.*GMs that center the campaign around a specific PC with no spotlight for anyone else.*GMs get pissy and "take their ball and go home" when things go awry.*GMs that do "Do Overs" because they ran the monster wrong or didnt prepare enough and because of which caused a TPK. Let me regale you on the time we fought an ancient red dragon, but the DM was reading the stats out of the MM and read the wrong CR (he was reading the white dragon's CR). The encounter was 6 CR higher than our party, we tried to teleport, but the area was Dimensionally Anchored. Half of us were killed, then true rezed by the dragon, We were then forced to sign the dragon's book, attesting to the fact that the dragon did beat us, we were then given his treasure hoard and showed the way out.....the campaign didnt last much longer after that.I have other horrible experiences to share, but the sharing will just make me more depressed.I love this game, but ive ran into the strangest people.... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /></blockquote>
