[QUOTE="Kibo, post: 271061, member: 5451"] [b]Re: I disagree[/b] This is one of those things that you would think is true but really isn't. If your Gm or whatever sucks, but sucks in a consistant way, the players, should they be like minded, can have a field day on this meta game level where the GM is unaware they are creating a Hard Target universe while the players put their own spin on Wilford Brimly (best quaker oats commercial ever!). We had this one Robotech campaign that changed GMs and went horribly awry, in the MOST entertaining way. (And if you don't understand what I'm refereing too in the previous paragraph, you must rent Hard Target, and if you watch the whole movie, you cannot miss the greatest quaker oats commercial of all. And that is exactly the kind of funny we had.) We had bar a brawl involving a human and a full size zentradi (we didn't find out he was 60' tall until after the fight, you would have thought our characters would have noticed....), numerous, giant rats, and homeless people in a top secret millitary installation, breaking a Jerry Lewis character out of prision in a top secret millitary installation to attend a concert in said installation where we televised the breakout over closed circuit tv IIRC, and don't even get me started on the state of the art, immersive reality, donkey kong simulater. Ahhh I forgot about the public beheding of a former player character where attendance was manditory!!! Ahhh!! There are more inside jokes than you can aim a gun pod at. Sure, it sounds stupid, and it was, in the most entertaining way. [/QUOTE]
