[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 1378078, member: 6148"] okay ther eare some things that I have that I hate in a game. I've been role playing since I was 12 so I have developed some preferences over the years. here they are As a Player: - When the DM hands out too much treasure/magic items - When the DM is a Storyline Nazi - I don't want the DM to play to win...but I need a sense of Danger, I hate it when the DM is too timid with the players - When the DM plays a NPC and the NPC outshines the group - When the DM picks a member of the group and they become a "golden boy/girl" and the adventures focus around him/her, I am talking about a constant thing here, if everybody has a turn then it's good - When the DM advances you a few levels in a night. As a DM - Players whining about treasure/monsters/etc. I am careful to balance things in my game - players forget the difference between player vs. character knowledge - rewinding - when we are fighting a combat and have finished player A's turn and gone onto player B and player A interupts and says something along the lines of "oh by the way I did 20 points of damage not 15". I really hate this, it's disruptive and then I have to go back and change stuff. I have a anti-rewind rule at my table once your turns over too bad - players take too long in combat, by looking up rules etc. - player A is giving advice to player B when player A and B's characters are not together. I can understand if someone is new, but if not....forget it [/QUOTE]
