Sex with the DM

[Mark CMG]

Well, that certainly explains that game we played at GenCon. *shudder* I had just thought Rel was being nostalgic.

"Hey, everyone, I'm going to pull out my Dragonbone!"

Rumor has it that Rel's goes up to eleven . . .

a book is a better bribe than sex; it lasts longer & is not as messy

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE books... but... longer ... ? Ya know, I read really fast.
I'm not old enough to read a book "instead"!!!

Messy: Agreed. But isn't it worth it?

What a silly question. Everybody knows that D&D players have never had sex.

Then who is the father of my 3 kids? Plus my wife plays, so who is the mother? Man! Its going to take me forever to figure this one out!

Greetings...

I was in a group where one GM was easily bribed by food. His Palladium games were terrible as a result.

Waitaminute! Wasn't that my game?!

Two players had sex (even during game, although in a back room, but they were missing out on the game) but none of them ever GMed.

No, seriously!? Wasn't that my game... or wait... I was the GM for all my Palladium games.

I always wondered how Ron's Comic Room was able to get away with only carrying a limited number of D&D books, and a whack-load of Palladium stuff. I think there were a lot more Palladium players out there than I realized...

How come I never could find these players?!

Actually, this really irritates me.

I was in a game where one of the players was knockin' boots with the (female) DM. His character was noticably more connected and had new spells, &c., approved quicker. Quite vexing.

So, what was the problem here... that the other player was getting special treatment. Because he was giving special treatment to the DM. Or, the fact that you weren't offered to give special treatment to the DM?

I'd go gay for a +5 keen vorpal flaming greatsword which allowed me to cast fly and true strike at will.

Well, if your attractive, fit, and D&D free. (In this case we're talking Drugs & Disease!) I've got a game going for a bunch of my friends who are gay & single.

... reminds me of a game that was advertised here locally, that they wanted open-minded non-homophobic players, and had no problem with cross-dressers, transvestites or homosexuals. My only question was... "Well, that depends, how well do they cross-dress? Because if we're talking about Dame Edna, then I'm not interested in staring at a pink wig for four hours."

Well that sad reality is that, except for a brief time in 8th grade, I have been DMing for all male groups going on twenty years now, and I’m not into guys so getting extra xp because of sex is out of the question.

I did have a friend in high school who knew I liked a classmate of his. He introduced us in exchange for getting an armored Veritch in the Robotech game we were playing. It had better armor, loads of missiles, etc.)

(Hellos I am Sunglar, and I have played Palladium. That is the first step right?)

I went out on a date and went out with her for some months. However on the first session said player got his new toy he was ambushed by the enemy and taken down.

What the GM giveth he teketh away! Jejejeje!

Hmmm... reminds me of someone I talked to online. Turns out she had a crush on one of the other players of her gaming group, and was too shy to talk to him.

I told her that she should pass him a note in game or something, because the worse thing that could happen is that he humiliates you in front of the gaming group... in game... (well, she found it funny at least) -- Actually, I told her... he's a gamer... chances are that everyone at the table has daydreamed about being with her... and that includes any other females at the table.

I was right, next thing I know, they are are dating, and last I heard... getting married.

Well, if we're actually being serious here I'll mention that my weekly gaming group started 24.5 years ago and my wife of the last 17.5 years was and is still an active player in the game. (In fact, back in 1982 I originally invited her to join the group in the first place because the DM of her previous gaming group was privately propositioning her for favors in return for game perks, which she and I were both appalled at that. When she refused he scheduled a game without telling her and then killed off her character.)

In all that time I can say that neither she or I ever gave one another preferential treatment when we DM, nor would any of the other players stand for it if we did. We've also had a number of other couples in the group over the years who felt the same way. Once a couple joined where the guy did favor his fiance when he DM'ed and they didn't last long with the group as a result. If the DM isn't ethical, and doesn't treat all players fairly, then what's the point in playing?

Okay... so, let me get this straight...

Gaming with the S/O and other couples... Preferential Treatment towards your S/O: Bad
Swinging with the S/O and other couples... Preferential Treatment towards your S/O: Good

1) Are you playing FATAL?

2) I'm always reminded of the (in)famous Al Bruno rants. They're old and most of you have probably already seen them, but at least one of them is relevant.
