Message: <blockquote data-quote="L0rd_Dark0n" data-source="post: 1409976" data-attributes="member: 10659">Worst games ever, hmm, let's see...First group I ever gamed in (in fact taught me RPG and introduced me to 2ed DnD and was normally a good group to play with) the DM decided to get drunk.  While at first entertaining as it actually helped move the story along at a smooth pace, quickly degenerated into an incomprehensible farce.Same group, only different DM.  The girl that was DMing us this time had us roll up new characters.  There were only four of us in the group.  VERY quickly into this game, it only became about 2 of the characters.  Any time my friend and I would try to do something, say something, whatever, the DM just ignored us or told us to be quiet or something.My friend and I sat on the sidelines and spectated until we finally got tired of the DM completely ignoring us and began to make up our own story which involved killing all her annoying NPCs derailing the whole game.Normally a very rude thing to do, but we were sitting at the same table and neither she nor the other two players, even notice.  So we were just going along and I was sort of improv DMing with the two of us rolling for combat and what not.  We're sitting at the same table laughing, AND THEY DON'T EVEN NOTICE!My friend and I are laughing and having a good time for a change reaking havoc on this shoddy game (bad DMing aside) when one of the other players finally had his character ask go outside of the temple and ask mine about the slaves that we, oops I mean the other two characters, had freed and were watching.I couldn't help myself.  The spotlight finally on me, the DM turning to me and looking surprised that I'm there, I related to them why neither my character, nor my friend's, nor the slaves were there.  I tell the whole group what we've been doing for the last TWO HOURS!  Two hours we've been doing this at the same table directly across them and they don't notice.  They are so completely engrossed in just the three of them, that they don't notice all this going on and our laughing.We convince the slaves to join us, hijack a ship, sail back across the sea, trick the guards into believing we have the cure for the poison that is killing the king, and we kill him instead.Well, she's enraged of course, and I explain to her that this whole game had been a joke and a waste of time until we had just started doing what we wanted and began to have fun.  She demanded our character sheets so she could destroy them.  We flat refuse.  She gets even madder and throws us out.  We're so deeply hurt that we laugh all the way out.Now get this, my friend and I are just horsing around.  We knew that what we wanted our characters to do couldn't have really happened because the actual DM was not a part of our antics.  She didn't know about any of it, so none of it should have happened.  We were just having fun until something actually happened involving our characters.  I just expected her to say nope and have one of the other characters ask mine something then go back inside and continue to ignore us.  SHE LET IT ALL STAND!Needless to say, I didn't care one way or the other, but she let our actions stand, and as she put it, completely ruin the adventure.  Oh, we also made sure that everyone back in the nameless kingdom that we had come from know that we were working under orders from the other two characters.  They couldn't go back there again.That was her last attempt at DMing for our group.  We had been gaming together for about a year and all got along really well, but that night was just a nightmare.  But the next week when I saw her, she apologized for acting the way she did, and the game went on as normal with our normal DM...NOT getting drunk.</blockquote>
