[QUOTE="EarthsShadow, post: 669176, member: 3531"] hey DarkCrisis, I know how you feel as far as getting ripped up by a vengeful DM and in the process getting weeded out of a gaming group, but my situation is different than yours. Basically, the DM I had (five years ago) didn't like the character I made, but never told me to remake him or make a new one, and the other players were getting mad at me (but not telling me about it) because the character was disruptive. Major lack of communication here. I had no clue that the character was disrupting the DM's plans, they all told me I was doing a good job (plus this was my first time ever gaming, so I was pretty knew at all of this), and the DM came up with a plan to basically get rid of me because of my character. He told me that there was no game the next week, but there was, just not for me, and then after that another player told me what happened (my character got killed after falling into a volcano), and I was pretty upset. So, I know what its like to be on the receiving end of a vengeful DM (kicker is he admitted it after that a week later and told me that he would never allow me to play in another game of his because of my character, so I said okay and move on to greater pastures). It stinks, some DM's take things way to personally and don't know how to communicate, and this also seems to be a situation where there wasn't enough communication to go around to help it any. if the DM you had played Warlord (which is a cool game) and joined in on the conversations, then he wouldn't see those conversations as disruptive, but then seeing somebody else reading a book that is not even of the same genre, then I myself would take that as a insult because that person is basically telling me that all my work is boring. I think all DM's are like this, its just how we deal with it that really counts. Find your own group, if possible, and enjoy the game. If some of the others join in with you, all the better. NO one likes to play in a boring game. [/QUOTE]
