[QUOTE="Davewolf, post: 3978351, member: 54585"] Only once, and for two reasons. 1st The GM insisted on keeping the character sheets at his house where we played, three times in as many months he lost mine and others. As the game was running some complicated backplot we didn't know but were obliged to listen carefully to, there wasn't time to copy it for myself, end result a character whose stats changed as he insisted we rolled them all out again! 2nd Down time between adventures meant we had to roll on a chart created by the GM to add 'depth' to our characters. Every result either gave you a physical injury or scar that lowered your stats & skills, lost you a minimum of 75% of your total wealth and belongings, or gave you a totally unknown 'enemy' to make your game time a misery by having assassins/thugs turn up in the middle of some complicated social matter. I left citing timing difficulties, my friend left a month later after it took 8 hours of gaming to walk down a 4 mile long road, during which nothing happened... [/QUOTE]
