[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 4045955, member: 6957"] Heh, that does sound awfully familiar, right down to the 'virus incident'. :p As for 'firing Mary Sue' (mentioned above) I have fond memories of my own early (ca. 1977) DMPC... I smashed him with a rock! :lol: (The party always asked him for advice, secure in the knowledge that I would not steer them wrong - when I realized this I had him flip a coin, turn right instead of left, and killed him with the first available trap. I think I may have retconned that trap into existence just to kill him. It took the party a while to realize that I had really killed him off - it was finding bits of him leaking through the ceiling of the room below that finally convinced them. :p ) In some ways I think that was the game where I started maturing as a GM. As to sarcasm, as I said, some have more difficulty with it than others - I never have any problem with it, but that is because I am a sarcastic bastiche in the first place. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
