I'm best known for my extensive work in the fields of this and that. I tend to be better at that, though I have more fun with this.

I'm an odd jobber with an even personality who isn't afraid to roll with the punches but prefers to dodge them when able.

I used to read this in Eugene when I was feeling down. It's my all time favourite "worst DM" story.

Enjoy!

This is why I stopped playing D&D. Too many people forget the whole point is to socialize and simply have F-U-N. Everything doesn't have to be friggin perfect and exact, and nitpickers like this ruin it completely.

That and I was pissed when one DM made us play in this piece of shit world called Harn or Karn or something. It was difficult, but difficult in a frustrating way and for all the wrong reasons. He went out of his way to make sure we were at a disadvantage the whole time. I should've thrown that asshole out the window.

So if a DM ever wants you to play that goddamn forsaken world, don't.

Hilarious article. The subject's e-mailed rebuttal is surprisingly mild in that it addresses one or two tangents and doesn't respond at all to the hundred or more indications of a more than slightly creepy individual.

My only tabletop RPG experience comes from the sessions my brother DM's, but that's never D&D. He is of the minimal rules variety, with a heavy focus on story development and very few moments that the dice come out at all.
