DMs are there to be both a guide to players and their worst enemies. Tell a story about a downright cruel DMing moment, fair or unfair. |

My first campaign of Pathfinder was under a DM of the "smash and bash" school of roleplaying. Everything revolved around the next target, and I decided to roll up a bard. He died from some unnamed mage tossing a fireball in a closet after me. Then had a random mercenary use a full round to coup de grace my dying form. That one combat killed off all the remaining original characters to the campaign, leaving only the new player to run off and find another party. |

In a decade long d&d 3.5 campaign with players at around level 23, one of their encounters were 2 ancient red dragons. The PCs attacked their lair (fully buffed and expecting to fight 2 ancient reds) and they overwhelmed them with all their buffs etc., which made the players themselves shiver because it was so easy... |

Seeing how wimpy Arlong is compared to later bosses, I wonder if they have to write their stats in exponential notation... |

Well, I thought mermen are basically stronger than humans, as a baseline? |

That little comment on DMs morbidity makes me wonder exactly who is running Thriller Bark. |

Hmm..... With that thought, and considering how often Franky sits out on stuff, I wonder if Franky will end up being Gordon's PC |

I'm trying to start up a group and Wednesday is gona be our first night playing with me as the DM. I'm just using a premade campaign so I have time to make my own and customize it to my players. |

I think I'M the killer DM.... it's not on purpose i just can;t get the encounter levels right. my first encounter of the game was meant to be a cinematic-type thing where bandits knock you out. A guy died and refused to retcon it (it was my first campaign) the second guy died to a pack of wolves i'd set up.... because he wandered a couple of miles off for no real reason and heard strange noises in a barn. then the party chewed up a carrion crawler like it was nothing, so i threw two at them and found out it doesn;t QUITE work like that.... with a few exceptions it went downhill from there. a RUST monster nearly killed them.... and they were level 5. just recently i joke about getting the encounters right and was banned from making the game. |
