[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2837648, member: 40076"] Bad GMing allways ruins my suspention of disbelief. My Evil GM made a world where all time was STOPPED, so we never got tired, we didn't have to eat drink, or what have you. Now, this would have been forgiveable if we could have, you know... encountered unique time-stop sensitive encounters, but Instead all we got was perpetual, nonmoving fields of grain and lots of random encounters being thrown at us, often of the same NPC's over and over with new templates attached. Also, he tended to change the background story of the BBEG whenever it suited him. My incompitent DM set up a world that was a direct violation of the laws of causality. A plague in the future, killed 99% of the population and destroyed all technology (???) leaving everyone in the feudal ages. Yeah, it made a lot of sense to me too. Oh, and he had us lay siege to a castle with a +12 ballistae at level 3. My roleplayer DM had NPC's with more richly detailed lives than we as PC's had. Not to mention more influence and more importance in the plot. And one of them had a gun in a fantasy world. Overall it was a rough campaign. I've had some rough times as a PC, but i've been responcible for my players loosing intrest too. I got burned out doin an 8-hour a week game. That was punishment. [/QUOTE]
