I know that the internet has improved my game considerably, and you are teased by wishing to play under many of the DM's running these blogs. And thank you to you too, oh wife of mine, those are some sweet words, and I can't thank you enough for putting up with that mod, I wouldn't had gotten my crap together without your help:)RipperXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506064393275174920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370162161693557709.post-66243805357255378422009-07-31T03:38:38.417-05:002009-07-31T03:38:38.417-05:00You should try living with him sometime :) I reme...You should try living with him sometime :) I remember way back when, when he and I had first met, and me and some of my miscreant minions reintroduced him to the game. By that time, I had been gaming for what had seemed like forever, and had cut my teeth on AD&D. At that time, I was just switching over to 2e. A lot of us took turns DMing, and when Rip decided that he wanted to give it a go, we let him. He did ok at first. He really got wrapped up in Ravenloft and had DM'ed that setting the most. The only bad part, was usually I was the only consistent player at every game. Rip was still getting his feet wet, so at the time he liked to throw the Night of the Walking Dead module at them. I couldn't tell you how many times I had played that module. It would make you sick. However, like a good friend, I sat there and played stupid and played through the game.<br /><br />Since that time, he has turned into one helluva DM. He's taken some criticisms well, and others, well let's just say there's been some serious discussions between us over disagreements. ;P As far as a DM, if we the players have a disagreement with something that is going on during play, we can for the most part argue it out and he will listen. It might take some major convincing because he can be so damned stubborn, but if we can prove our case, he'll let us have it.<br /><br />I'm really proud of the DM he's turned into. He knows how to produce a good story line and get us wrapped up into it. One game that we've had within the last year had such a good story to it, that myself and another player were able to roleplay our characters for well over an hour, without a single dice being thrown. We just took what he gave us and ran with it. One of the more memorable games I've ever played in. That's a sign of a good DM. He forces us to use our brains more than relying on die rolls. That's the stuff I love. <br /><br />Thanks for the great games honey! Can't wait to get back to London...;)Talahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615889155947131767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370162161693557709.post-84050252168640024682009-07-30T16:16:43.194-05:002009-07-30T16:16:43.194-05:00I have thought, from the beginning of reading your...I have thought, from the beginning of reading your blog, that you show enormous love and passion for the game, and that your foundational belief in having a consistent ruling, straight from the core, has been straightforward, and laudable.<br /><br />I'm not that keen on 2e, but I do have some good memories of it. That it is your chosen system, and that you have such encyclopaedic knowledge of it demonstrates the calibre of GM you are.<br /><br />I would gladly play in your game, were I given the opportunity. :DTimeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.com
