Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 9733529" data-attributes="member: 762">I have to say, I have NEVER met a DM with this attitude. Sure some are more relaxed or laid back than others. Many, experienced or new, are not that great or not nearly as great as they think they are. But ones that think the game is silly and a waste of time? You don't continue to DM with that attitude, you find "better" pursuits for your time.That doesn't sound like cruelty.  It's just an expectation and a specific play style. Cruelty, for example, would be putting the players in uncomfortable situations for your (the DMs) amusement, and without care of theirs.How does that even look like? If someone is a jerk at my table, they're not at my table long (hasn't happened in a long time, honestly, I seem to game with great people). But other than not welcoming them back, what else is there?</blockquote>
