[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 1645367, member: 2209"] [b]The gods aren't crazy, they just have dyslexia[/b] The most fun DM screw up I've played through was when a friend of mine ran a module out of dungeon. He never put in any effort to create a coherent world, one day we'd have a plot with the FR gods, the next it was Greyhawk ones one town over. I was playing a cleric of the Native American Great Spirit. So it was a hodge podge campaign. Anyway we agreed to help these scholar priests of the knowledge god Omega who had one of their library temples extradimensionally sealed off. There was a lot of neat roleplay with them praying to Omega and blessing us in the name of Omega, and so on. We went in using one way magic where we had to invoke the name Omega and then had to find various runes in the library that spelled out the gods name to unseal it. It was very cool, fighting wierd creatures and gathering the runes but something was not right, I kept asking "why is there an 'H' rune here? and we spent an hour scouring the place doubletracking trying to find the last missing rune, an 'E' finally I looked at the runes we had collected and turned to the DM "Wait a minute! Are you sure the name of the God is Omega? Are you sure its not 'Oghma' the Celtic god of language, runes, and poetry?" My friend the DM said "no, no, of course not. Its Omega." Then he looked at the module again carefully and flushed bright red/pink and his mouth sort of pursed up. Another PC shouted "He's blushing! It is Oghma!" and we all cracked up. The joys of doing word puzzle adventures when the DM (and also one of the players) is dyslexic. [/QUOTE]
