[QUOTE="toberane, post: 258762, member: 4968"] Ummmm..... no. I don't call what your DM did "Rule 0" I call it being a complete and utter jerk, and have to pause for a moment to wonder how you could keep gaming with a moron like that. And saying that to endorse Rule 0 is to endorse tyrannical behavior is similar to saying that every world leader is a complete despot. The DM can go on a power trip if he wants to, but the players decide to allow those power trips by staying with the jerk. Again, I wil point to the issue of maturity. Your DM sounds like a very immature person who cannot handle the responsibility of DMing, and you are letting him continue in that way by aloowing him to be your DM. As DM, he makes the rules. But, like any oppressed people, it is your right as players to create a revolution and dethrone him. OK, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I think you get the idea. The DM has the right to change things as he sees fit. It says so in the rule books, the same rules you are fond of calling your DM on. But if you don't like the way he DMs, then you have to either tell him you don't like it, or stop inviting him over to game. That is how you have your say in how the DM does his job. [/QUOTE]
