Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 3889627" data-attributes="member: 18701">My first D&D character was in Dark Sun and he was a human Fighter/Thief.I found a magic sword that healed me a few HP if I damaged someone else. If you don't know, magic is illegal in the Dark Sun campaign world and magic items are very rare. You're considered a rich man if you own a nonmagical metal weapon (even metal is rare).This was my prized possession but I guess the DM didn't want me having it anymore. His brother played with us and was about to leave for basic training in the airforce. The last session we played with his brother before he left ended with our group shacked up in a new house and we magically trapped the windows and doors and went to sleep.The following session without the DMs brother began with us waking up, my money is spread all around the room, my only 2 magic items are missing (the sword and a ring of protection), and the DMs brother's PC is gone. The scene was made to look like a robbery & a kidnapping, but it was poorly executed (the thieves took the time to throw my money around instead of taking it?)I also didn't get any saving throws or skill checks & the DM never said he rolled any. I played along with it anyway.A year later the DMs brother was discharged from basic training and came home. He joined our game again and we were told he was kidnapped and he escaped. The first conversation his PC had with mine began with him asking about my old magic sword. Out of game I assumed the DM let him steal that stuff from me but in game I couldn't prove it. But since he mentioned the sword, I used that as a reason why my character would accuse him.So I hired the Psionist PC and the Half-Giant PC to help me deal with the brothers PC. The first night as he slept, we jumped him & the half giant pinned him down to the bed. The Psionist read his mind and asked me what I want him to look for. I said, "What's the last memory he has of seeing my magic sword?" The DM told us there's a memory of his character handing the sword to an evil crimelord we know. That's all I needed to know, so my character pulled out his dagger, and I looked at the brother and said, "I helped take care of you when you arrived to these lands, now I'm taking you out." I told the DM that I slit his throat.Oh, but the DM pulled a Doug Douglason move on me and had  that same evil crimelord appear in the room just before I slashed his throat. He told me that he has plans for that PC and if I kill him I will be hunted down. That was the last session we played since I moved away shortly after. I learned a lot about DM'ing from that whole scenario.</blockquote>
