[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 71868, member: 352"] Just pokin' a little fun at you :D Seriously, your plan wasn't bad. Improvisation is something that we all forget about sometimes as players, and that we don't let happen as DM's because "that's not in the rules!". Creative gaming by players (within reason) should always be looked upon favorably by the DM and rewarded in some manner (nothing large, just a little something to show you saw it). New DM's are tough sometimes, especially if their players have more experience than they do! You best bet is to meet up with him outside the game and give him a non-biased, helpful review of his session (note: this should be handled tactfully so it doesn't sound like you're telling him how to run his game!). You can go over things like "I like the way you played the flesh golem as mindless by having him stack the bodies and ignore us while he did it, but you probably shouldn't have told us that it was a flesh golem. It might have been better if you just described it in detail." and then go on the explain why. Is you new DM a long time player, or is he new to the game in general? [/QUOTE]
