Message: <blockquote data-quote="cmanos" data-source="post: 2468645" data-attributes="member: 25472">worst was probably my fault as a GM for not being prepared and not thinking fast enough on my feet.  I had a pretty long and involved storyline played out that involved the players seeing the bad guys doing something with a maguffin, but not being able to get the magufffin for another couple sessions.  Well, they were determined to get it, and I was determined to not let them have it.  They got frustrated because they felt the whole thing was contrived.  I got frustrated because they were frustrated that I was rolling 20's onmy NPC saves v their spells and 'nothing was working'.  One of the players started yelling at me.  I called the game.  Later that week, two of the players contacted me and started railing on me, saying the exact same things.  Obviously they had been conspiring together as they were saying exactly the same thing in exactly the same order.All in all, it could have been totally avoided if I would have let them have the maguffin, let them do what they wanted with it, which would have involved inadvertently killing 1000 elves and raising a 5000 year old evil demigod.  But no...I needed to stick to my plan....I had had problems with one of the players before and he had caused me to stop gaming for 2 years before.  He didn't stop me this time.  He just stopped me from playing with HIM again.I'm currently playing in a game that I really enjoy and am considering running for a mixed group of my old players and some of the players from my current game.</blockquote>
