[QUOTE="jerichothebard, post: 1407784, member: 4705"] Ok - here's my bad game story: I show up for the FLGS's game night at a local pizza dive. It is mostly CCG and wargames, but I had heard there was a DND game getting started there that week, and what the hey. I thought I'd give it a shot. The FLGS advised me that the game was only for people of 18 years of age or older. Shoulda been my first clue. Show up, take with the DM and her boyfriend, and sit down to make a character - I think a few levels advanced from first. Then, just for fun, the DM shows me her new chart. The mutations chart. Shoulda been my second clue. She says, "These all give enhancements, and you'll probably need them". That whooshing sound, there, going by my head? That was the third clue. So, after rolling a d4 (2) and then 2d20 (6 and 17), I am now a giant dwarf (size category large). With 4 arms. oooooooookay.... About 30 minutes into the game, it has become apparent (quite, heartbreakingly, obviously, tragically apparent) that the DM has concocted this new game as a way to run her boyfriend through the script of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. And he knew going in. And he had the script memorized. And we were just accessories. Normally, in the other campaign that started off at this Pizza dive, I was sad when the owners kicked us out at 9:30. Not so that night. I did not give them my name and number and I have not gone back to the pizza place since then. geez. jtb [/QUOTE]
