[QUOTE="DestroyYouAlot, post: 3070637, member: 36618"] A shining, resplendant example of crap DMing, no less. (I love you, too.) Not stated in the above example, spelled out here for those who need it to be so, was that I had spent fifteen minutes setting the scene, where, while the characters rested up after their last adventure, spent a few tendays training (levelling up), and going to the equinox festival, the weather had been getting steadily (and unseasonably) cold. After describing, in loving detail, the first snow that started that morning, and the biting cold that had descended over the land, I'm quite willing to impose cold penalties on adventurers who set out on the road wearing the same gear they had on in (the campaign world's equivalent of) August. It produced an equal measure of chuckles and groans, and a flurry of "oh crap, we forgot [i]everything[/i]" provision-buying (which likely saved them from starving on the road), but I'll let the guys know that it didn't go over well on a forum, so we're dispensing with this sort of thing.[/sarcasm] I also don't warn them before they walk into a trap or a wandering monster, crap DM that I am. For shame. [/QUOTE]
