>>97195963Story that never happened, but if it did happen I can't imagine this guy was ever a good DM. He sounds like an autistic tard.
>>97196014the thing it was a real fun playing with him as a dm. i think this dumbass just thing that everyone needs to be playing with his style.
>>97195963Sounds like you're shit at basic communication.>Thanks for the advice but I don't actually find it helpful so please keep it to yourself.
>>97195963AS ALWAYS when there is an interpersonal problem on /tg/1. Use your words and try talking to him about it.2. If that doesn't work, kick him.What do you expect strangers on the internet to do?
>>97196124>What do you expect strangers on the internet to do?Vindicate him for not just saying "I DM differently than you" the first time.
>"I understand your frustration but don't backseat GM me again please or I won't be able to run the game for you">if he doesn't listen, kick himIt's not that hard if you're not a wet blanket.
>>97195963This is all very easy to solve1) Drink bleach2) Die
