Why I Shouldn't Be A GM

[Kingofthemorlocks]

One of the few set-in-stone rules I have when I'm GMing is,

"If you're going to pick up a hooker or try and seduce an NPC, you may do so, but you'll be roleplaying the entire encounter yourself, in another room."

Heh, we did have an extremely charismatic Federal Marshall seduce a cultist guarding a building in our last session of Call of Cthulhu, letting some of the other PCs search the building and find out what the cult is up to.

which campaign setting are you playing in?

I'm a bit new to roleplaying as a whole, and even moreso on D&D. The GM said it'd be an exploration/treasure hunt theme.

Also, on sex in rpg's, in Tähti, a new finnish roleplaying game where the players play as members of a all-girl Maoist "C-Rock" band (no typos there). Instead of dice you interperet fortune cookies in every situations. And sexual encouters are a part of the campaing, and when these situations come the player can request for the rest of the group (save the GM, because the whole thing has to be directed) to go for a short break whilst they go through the scene.

Actually, not D&D, but http://www.basicfantasy.org/main.html

I'll try to study the rules a bit...

Wacky idea: a crossover between Paranoia and Teenagers From Outer Space. :3

Another wacky idea: the Tomb of Horrors, except there's less deadly stuff and more borderline-naughty stuff. (Inspired by one magical trap, which switches a character's gender.)

"If you're going to pick up a hooker or try and seduce an NPC, you may do so, but you'll be roleplaying the entire encounter yourself, in another room."

Oh, btw. In this campaing we get one exp per every one gp used on "bullshit", as our DM so elequently put it. That is, boozing, hookers etc. But it happens offscreen.

I protested that my character is a religious man (despite not even being the cleric of the team). He then clarified that Bullshit is everything that doesn't contribute towards the adventure, so giving it to charity also counts.

Also; short story of suspense set agianst a world gone madde:
The death of a Player Character!

A daring team of heroes had followed a distressed youngling to a cave-opening, upon inspection, the heroes found the remains of an archeologist, crushed under a heavy load of rocks. continuing inside the cave, the heroes encountered a foul fire-emiiting insectoid beast, the remains of a battle between an army of animated statues and late adventurers. Upon discovering the secrets of the cavern, our heroes fought hard and valiantly against a great man of crystal, but lost, despite valiant efforts by the titular player character, a mage!

His spells, meant for truly sentient creatures, were of no help, but in his best efforts, the mage tried to dispose of the menace with his dagger, but alas, its defences were too strong, and after a short, but heated battle, the other two heroes were knocked out, and the mage killed in action.

But soon rose his brother, to avenge his brethren, even shorter, but even more heated battle, after which, a proper burial was issued, and the wealth of the mage distriputed between the adventurers and the brother!

Now considering that we were a broken group like no other with the cleric being the main melee guy, I was the squishy wizard with no less than 4 HP, and the two others had attack penalty from poisonous crypt-gas, the battle can't be describet really all that epic without one suffix beginning with an f, enging in either -ail or -uckup. As for the second battle, the statue had 1 HP left.

Return to the Temple of Porn-emental Evil?

"You see a crop-weilding Erynies flanked by two dire Ropers and a Lube elemental. Roll for iniative."

Cast POWER WORD: ORGASM !!!!!!!!!!!! even the gods blush when that power word is uttered.

Against 2 crop-wielding erinyes, 2 dire ropers, and a lube elemental your combat options are limited. First, you need to cast some sort of flight spell to get your feet off the soon-to-be slippery floor. Second, fireball is good because ropers are vulnerable to it but remember that erinyes are completely immune to it. Third, the erinyes specialize in seduction rather than combat so you are often best-served by getting a warrior to close to melee with them. Finally, the Lube elemental can prove useful and should be captured in a back of holding or portable hole.

in a back of holding or portable hole.

But not both.

Unless you want to go adventuring with the astral dreadnought.
