He insisted that I play a rogue, since I have a "rogue body-type" (we weren't LARPing, so I don't know what my body type had to do with it) and since I have a more rogue-like personality?He then proceeded to dictate my characters backstory to me and everything.I went with it because it because I figured was better than playing no D&D at all and doing nothing that Saturday night. Boy, what a mistake that was.The game sucked. The DM did not have a firm grasp on the rules and he pretty much railroaded us the whole way through. When we didn't go where he wanted us to go and do what he wanted us to do, he punished us with large groups of Gnolls (too much for us to handle; we ended up with a TPK).  I actually don't like to play characters that are similar to myself. I want to play as a man (or woman) who is big, tough, confident, and wears a belt of skulls and big spiky shoulder pads. I favor the barbarian class, because if I'm going to be a character in a fantasy world, I don't want to be a scrawny, effeminate starving-artist, I WANT TO RIDE DRAGONSAND EAT HAMBURGERSMADE OF DRAGONS!</blockquote>
