[QUOTE="Zephier, post: 2178232, member: 19596"] i appologise if im repeating something someone else said, im tired but i figured i'd chime in with something i learned trying to dm/ gm. as a dm is extremely important that you do not lead the players around by the nose. its ok to put them into unpleasant situations, but completely impossible/hopeless situations are not good. and make sure the players are the main actors, no one likes to be playing heroic fantasy only to be saved time and time again by npcs that make the pcs look like toddlers. the only time i've felt like i'd rather not be playing dnd was then the dm tossed us into a fight against impossible odds; ie we couldnt even hit the opposition. We were later saved by one fighter of exeptional skill... this was an absolute waste of gaming time as the players didnt actually do anything but take up space around the table... once again im sorry if this is completely incoherent or if it repeats someone else's statement..im tired and not thinking in anything resembling a geometric shape.
