An infrequent yet agonizing occurrence in Dungeons & Dragons is when players just cannot deal with something that happens in the game. Whether the Game Master did something intentionally cruel or idiotic, or accidently allowed a twist in the plotline that the players find stupefying to the point they can't continue is one matter that … Continue reading Perhaps You’d be More Comfortable….

Of course this means that the Game Master also has more options than they can reasonably be expected to react … Continue reading Whenever Things go too Well You Know There is a Catch
