[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 2966111, member: 14451"] That is funny, at least I am not alone. He is a good friend, well a friend anyway :) ;) :cool: I knows the rules, but I think he is more concerned about tripping people up on rules and bad choices of words than actually having fun. Once we had a Gromlock bound in rope, I was trying to talk to him when one of the PCs did a coup de grace with a great axe. DM said your attempt to communicate was hampered by his death but on the bright side you have four equal lengths of rope as the axe ruined your rope. Not very happy with the blood thirsty PCs I have just joined but wanting to try and get along I said, "Looks like I have 4 12.5 length bits of rope." Later I wanted to bind another grimlock and the DM declared I had no rope. I told him I had 4 equal 12.5 foot long lengths of rope, he said "yes, you do, on the ground where you tried to bind the last one. You never said you picked them up." :confused: I could go on, but I won't. I want to make it work with the DM cause we are friends and I am tired of playing in a low magic Grim and Gritty game (our other game with a different DM) but with the DM trying to constantly trip people up with rules and words, and a cowardly dwarf who runs from everything and a blood thrity mage who only wants to kill everything that lives, including those bound and helpless, my Lawful Good mage is having a hard time fitting in.
