[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5751174, member: 5202"] I recognize my deficiencies when it comes to running a game, so I don't do it :) I do an excellent job of playing quirky characters for my DM to riff off of and I usually make sure to understand a system very thoroughly and end up a reference point for the other players and DM. I used to help Co-ST an OWoD game in college and my DM didn't know Mage at all, so I covered all Mage questions and helped him w/some overarching plots for the game. In the 3E days, my DM asked me to make 3 L13 Ogre enemies specifically tailored to kill 3 of our party members. I made perfect counters to some of our group members and then the way things went, none of them fought the guy they were designed to fight and they were taken down easily. He was so frustrated :) [/QUOTE]
