    *My Werewolf Cleric was NOT given the following instructions:
    "First of all, you will eat all the bodies."
    "The Second step is to swallow all creation."


    For those that don't get it, and I really only expect French Metalers to get it, it's a reference to Wolf Down the Earth by Gojira, a French heavy metal band.

    I must have an odd DM. This would result in much laughter and extra XP for thinking obliquely and with style. Of course, this is the same person who get’s giddy when we can outthink the baddies. And loves the theatrical engagement.

    * When the rogue takes on the master thief mano-a-mano Jackie Chan style, the appropriate response is to start the popcorn and relax, but no meta allowed. This includes shouting suggestions from the sidelines when you are required to be otherwise occupied.

    78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.The players were attacked individually on the road on the way to town by werewolves. To survive, they had to team up then and there without knowing anything about eachother (literally -- all character sheets were completed without other players' knowledge).

    As a DM:

    *I should determine ahead of time what sort of party the players want to play.

    *Failing that, I should at least make clear what sort of characters will work best in the (homebrewed) setting.

    *Not to be disappointed when I get a group of well-thought-out, excellently roleplayed characters instead of the murderhobos I tailored the setting for.

    *Not to keep the combat encounters the same despite a somewhat lower level of combat competence than they were designed for. >.> No matter how tempting it may be.

    *Not to get disappointed when they try to talk their way through /every/ /single/ /encounter/, including the ones with dumb (in the literal sense of the word) beasts.

    A) First and Last are not mutually exclusive terms.

    B) It's possible but the role-playing requirements are HEAVY. You have to go in with a seriously machiavellian mind-set and an eye toward keeping your pawns (read; the other pc's) alive so you can continue to make use of them.

    Finding an entire group that's even capable of having the right mindset and roleplaying chops is probably more difficult than keeping the game together once you do.
