Volkov is stupid part 2: Hammers and Emos

[Naltaca]

... it doesn't say that  :?

[Gen. Volkov]

I'm not the DM though, despite my ownership of a DMG, which I bought, thank you very much. Neo is the DM, that's why he is god Nalt. God=DM. *Nod*

[Naltaca]

*shakes head hopelessly*  Now I must refer you to the Player's Handbook.  Beginning on page 106 is a list of all deities within Dungeons and Dragons; while the DM could create his own gods, he himself is considered a DM, not a god.

If neo is the DM, then how is it he is taking such an active role as a character in the campaign eh? Answer me that.

[Ruddertail]

Because he's Neo... and god. Both authorize him to create his own rules, and then force people to abide by them.

[Neobaron]

Yes, I weave all the webs!

Giant spiders for everybody!

[Gen. Volkov]

And I must refer you to the same rule that says a DM runs the game and controls what the gods do. Therefore, DM=ubergod.

Also, he has an NPC character that he's controlling because the party was too small.;)

[Naltaca]

PFFTT!!!!! TOO SMALL?!?!?! All you need is a DM and one player, technically, but you had at least two players.  He can have an NPC, it just has to be an NPC and not a PC taking as active a roll as he is.

[Gen. Volkov]

What if the story is for 3 characters? What if only 2 would not survive? And again, who died and made you the rules master? He can do whatever he wants as long as the game is fun.

[Aqualis]

Screw the game! More rules to quash your fun! *evil, maniacal laughter*

[Naltaca]

Long long ago, there were several wizards... a council of them.  They all lived near a body of water and were therefore referred to as Wizards of the Coast.  They created mystically magical books so that there legacy could be passed down and remembered for many years to come.

That is who died and made me the rules master.  He must follow the rules to a certain extent all though he is allowed to deviate, he still needs to use the basic infrastructure.  You just don't want to be proven wrong in your flawed campaign. HA!!!

[Gen. Volkov]

Bah. You're just mad that you don't get to kill emos with us. You know that the game isn't flawed and that the DMG allows for the sort of things we are doing, you just won't admit it because you're insanely jealous of our l33tness.

[Naltaca]

pfft... your l33tn3s5?  I have a whole arsenal that greatly surpasses your little venture of slight coolosity.  And the DMG hardly allows what you're referring to.  On top of that, my religion prohibits the killing of emos.

[Neobaron]

Your religion is ignorent and must be crushed!

(Volkov, what does the DM do to unleash mass hordes of nasties on whaever religion a character has?)

[Gen. Volkov]

A mass horde of nasties with a different, opposite religion. Just like in real life. That or a horde of Goblins, that always works too. Or you could have the country taken over by an dictator who hates that religion. Then the country's own army becomes a mass horde of nasties that destroys the religion. Many ways.
