[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 402820, member: 354"] Wanna know a good example of the type of DM I have to put up with, and why I like being able to argue him into retconning? We were playing a Mage game last week. Setting was a mid-sized town with a lot of outlying rural area. My character had ***** in resources, and lived in a mansion several miles outside of town. I get a call from one of the other players asking me to meet him in town. I tell the DM: "Ok, I'll go downtown to meet him." Gameplay continues for about 20-ish in game minutes, at which point I ask the DM if I have got there yet. His responce? "Uh, no. You've only gone about a mile... it's gonna take you another 2 hours or so." Me: Whaaaaat? "Well, yeah... you're walking after all... you didn't say you were driving..." Me: Uh... take a loot at that xerox of my character sheet for a second, would you? **** Inteligence. **** wits. Now look down. See the ** Drive? Right. Now look over. Do you notice how Atheletics has NO dots? Uh huh. Now flip to the back. See where it says, under possessions owned, "Dodge Viper, black"? WHERE on EARTH would you get the idea I would WALK many MILES into town? "You didn't say you were driving..." Me: Did I say I was breathing either? For that matter, have any of the other players? I guess we all collapse from asphyxiation right about now... DM eventualy conceeded the point. So if anyone wonders WHY I support reconning and calling the DM on things, that's an example of what I have to put up with, to know where I'm comming from. That example was hardly unique, I might add. [/QUOTE]
