[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 3345233, member: 6148"] Hello, my name is Gundark and I'm a killer DM. I say things to my group like "the heroes should win" and "I'm not playing against you", I lie through my teeth and say that DMing isn't about me vs. the players. Bull#@&*. :] I want to see the players defeated at the hands of the villians. I want TPKs and PCs shaking with fear at the prospect of facing the BBEG. I wanna say "suck it up princess!!!! Go put on your big boy/girl panties and deal with it like a grown up" when the players complain and say "what CR was that?" or "Wow that CR was off". I want smart villians who aren't just sitting around in their strongholds waiting for the PCs to kick down the door and hack them to death. Damnitt I want villians who are going to send assasins to kill the PCs who are actually going to get the damn job done, not lower level jokers who meet the appropriate CR. I want the bad guys to grind the players to powder and sow their remains over a farmers field and then burn the field just for daring to even try to defy them. :] Sigh :\ . I don't get why I'm like this. I mean shouldn't the players win? Isn't it about all of us having fun rather than be the Gundark slay the players show? I get annoyed when the PCs beat the boss in 2 rounds...I love playing Descent cause I can kill their pasty @$$ heroes and it's all part of the game. *Sigh* Is their treatment for a guy like me? Edit: Part of what I wrote above was also for humour sake as well as for advice. I make sure that the games I run are fair and have appropriate challenges for the PCs.
