[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3247665, member: 30035"] A few years ago my fiancee and I wangled our way into a Fantasy Hero campaign that had been running for a while. The other players were all friends of ours and we were tired of hearing them tell about what a great game it was. ;) The DM was using a setting of his own, based partly on several books. His world was a flat disc, like Discworld but without the supporting pillars, and the existing characters had gone on an adventure that involved going to the opposite side of the world. They were trying to save a dragon from an evil artifact. One of the PCs was herself a dragon and was the daughter of the dragon they were trying to save. My fiancee and I worked up our characters and were introduced to the party just after that story arc completed. We went off with them and had a few adventures. Things seemed to be going fine. Then abruptly the DM announced that there had been a sort of 'reset' of the game. The dragon had cast some sort of massive spell that modified all our memories so none of the PCs recalled going to the other side of the world or any of the things they did there. This meant that they'd also never met the new characters my fiancee and I had introduced. The DM even told us up front that he wasn't happy with the way the adventure had gone and was rebooting it so we could do it over again. He did allow that one of the PCs from the original group had a vague memory of things being different, so he could use that PC as a hook to get the party back to the plotline. But my fiancee and I felt pretty ripped-off that everything we'd done up to that point had been ruled non-existant. Then that DM simply dropped out of sight and was never heard from again. :( [/QUOTE]
