[QUOTE="Gnimish88, post: 1486078, member: 15041"] First off, I definately agree that with dedstuff, Quas is a good GM. He has good plots, consistant NPCs, and a good grasp of the rules. Looking at some of the posts, I think it is worth repeating that I don't think the fact we missed the orb is a problem. As has been said, if you don't search, you don't find. My problem is, as Quas himself has said, he should have kept his mouth shut about how we should have found it. The role of the GM is a position that gives one the advantage knowing all the secrets. This reduces ones credibility when you talk about things that shouldn't have been missed. Actually, all this has reminded me of another time this happened, many years and GMs ago. This GM set the stipulation that the party members be friends that had known each other for years. We were visiting the home of a beloved, wealthy aunt of one of the PCs. We were searching the home looking for her, as no one had met us at the door. Upon finding her body, obviously murdered, we were informed that the house was on fire and we had mere minutes (rounds, this was 2E) to get out of the house or be killed in the fire. After we finished the session, the GM said he couldn't believe how much treasure we missed. In a friend's aunt's house. THAT was BAD GMing. [/QUOTE]
