[QUOTE="gunter uxbridge, post: 931722, member: 7526"] Imagine this....a first time DM with very little gaming experience wants to run a session with two experienced players in his Dragonlance game. We were about 20 at the time with little else to do, so what the heck, we decided to give Marcus his shot. I played a human Psionicist (2nd edition) and the other player was a human fighter. The greenhorn DM threw a blue dragon against us in the first encounter...AND WE WERE ONLY FIRST LEVEL! The even worse part was... WE BEAT IT! After seriously twisting the rules and doing some stuff we had no right doing, the dragon took to the air in retreat. I, still having plenty of PSPs left, morph into a griffon, the fighter jumps on my back and we follow hoping it will take us to his horde. I can remember the chase..... **Fighter waiving his sword** "Come back here you yellow b*****d!" **Me, in griffon form* "Dude, he's blue." **Fighter** "You blue b*****d!" We killed the dragon, took its treasure, jumped about ten levels in a game and never let Marcus DM again. Stupid, stupid game. Then again, there was the d6 Star Wars game that I ran where the players got fed up with me and committed suicide by kicking on their ships hyperdrive while docked inside a rebel cruiser. Well....I was having fun anyway. Or the Marvel Superheroes game where we were playing X-Men. Now....I haven't read so much as a single comic in my life...no interest. So I have NO idea what these characters are like, what their powers are or what their relationships to each other were like, and nobody bothered to explain. Add to that the fact the the GM stunk. Sooooo.....they hand be Colossus and said "Play." Fine....so there we are, getting our collective butts handed to us by cops....regular, human, typically equipped cops. I found a couple of M60 .50 cal machine guns sitting around, put on some shades and proceeded to mow down everything in sight Rambo style. The game folded pretty quickly afterwards. [/QUOTE]
