Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mort" data-source="post: 5442131" data-attributes="member: 762">This was a well established game, with my friend and I being the only 2 not in it since high school, so maybe the DM was just comfortable with the other players doing what they wanted.That said, from what I recall, the DM certainly had no problem saying no to EVERYTHING else; part of the reason I bailed.For example, I built a tracker. Yet in the 3 sessions I was there, despite the fact that our actual mission was tracking someone down, the DM did not once let me successfuly follow a trail; this in spite of the fact that on one of the rolls I got ridiculously lucky and rolled a 45 when an "impossible" check is around 20 (deadlands has exploding dice and I think I just kept rolling 12 after 12), the DM was "generous enough" to tell me magic was blocking any tracking attempt (which in D&D I'll take, Deadlands not so much). He didn't have any qualms about sending us in the wrong direction when I critically fumbled either (can't succeed but can easily fail is a bad recipe in my book!).This was one of several issues that had me call it quits after 3 sessions.</blockquote>
