Message: <blockquote data-quote="Moff_Tarkin" data-source="post: 4191112" data-attributes="member: 14175">This one was a really bad experience due to the fact it happened over a decade ago and the DM still makes fun of me for it.Let me set the background. I was new to D&D and admittedly there were a lot of things I didn’t know. For example, I thought all thieves automatically knew were the thieves guild was in town. So we reach a big city and the DM goes around the table asking everyone what they are doing while in town. He gets to me and the conversation goes like this. VERBATIM!GM: What are you doing in town?Me: Well where is the thieves’ guild.GM: I don’t know, why don’t you ask that guard?Me: (a little angry at the DM’s joke) Where is the thieves guild!GM: The guard says right this way sir.Me: I didn’t ask the guard. I am asking you.GM: The guards beat you up and haul you off.Now I was a new player, and it was foolish of me to think all thieves knew were the thieves guild was located. But I fail to see where in that conversation I asked the guard for the location. The funny thing is, the DM agrees that the conversion I just posted here is word for word correct. He still thinks I asked that guard were the guild was.This guy always made me feel stupid until I started playing under other DMs. In other games I am always intelligent and come up with genius ideas to defeat the bad guys and bypass traps. But every time I played his game my character was a bumbling idiot who’s every action ended in complete failure. I wonder why I “magically” got stupid when I played in his games.</blockquote>
