[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 2918826, member: 9037"] QFT This drives me crazy when DMs do this. We play DnD every other week and we play Shadowrun the other week with the same DM now sometimes we forget things. I do take notes but there are times I forget to write something down or I just didn't catch the importence of something. The DM has these rules if you forgot so did your character it drives me crazy if he was not such a good DM in other areas I would quit the games. For example we had a parachment to deliver to a town official we had two sessions of traveling to the town and then we had a four week break of real time due to the DM's job. No one remembered who to deliver the parahment to. Thr Dm was like well I guess you guys are in trouble then. I argued that the person's name was on the envelope and in the end he relented and reminded us who we were supposed to deliver it to. In another game a DM gave me certain information at the start of the game about my background it did not come into play for close to seven months and I had forgotten it. The DM didn't remind me about it either saying I should have remembered. My character would have remembered even if I didn't. [/QUOTE]
