Message: <blockquote data-quote="BeanFruit" data-source="post: 355937" data-attributes="member: 7364">There was a while back in 1992/93 where it seemed the two groups I was playing in were all run by pushover DM's. At first it is a little annoying, then it becomes downright irritating before the eventual "why bother playing with such a pushover?" and the campaigns died.I don't like DM's who are extoridnarily hard on players, but a happy medium isn't that hard to achieve. Like others have said, when a detect magic gives you locations, types, quantities, etc then you know your in for trouble. Also nothing worse than having a pushover DM throw powerful monsters at you, and then letting you kill them with ease.The final straw once upon a time was beating the great red wyrm with a bunch of below 5th level charactersMy reaction:<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> for the DM<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> for the players who liked it<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> for the amount of time wasted</blockquote>
