[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4960856, member: 5202"] I used to game (for an extremely short time) with a guy in college who wanted to be a movie director. He had very definite character ideas for everyone and had me setup as the cleric son of some powerful ruler or something, supposedly very pivotal in the story he was working up to. So our 2nd session I had had a couple of major tests and not much sleep so I warned them up front I was running on empty when the session started. I fell asleep during the session and woke up to a cave bear having ripped out part of my throat. The magic of the world was a bit more primitive than standard 2nd ed and while they were able to save me, I would be unable to talk. I was given 10 pills that the alchemist came up wiuth that would allow me to speak a full sentence, but after that I would be SOL. I pointed out that every spell in the game for Clerics had a verbal component and his attitude seemed to be that I shouldn't have fallen asleep. That was my last session. My friends who played in his other game, he had 2 different games running that would dovetail together...I think we were supposd to be their children or something, said that they played thru everything he threw at them and when he came up to his twist and reveal they all revolted on him saying their characters would never do pretty much anything he said they were. Made me glad I got out of his game when I did. [/QUOTE]
