Nice Chemistry. Good podcast.
There is something about getting a behind the scenes look at how dm’s operate. I don’t know what it is exactly, but there something about it. I understand the problem of people feeling you are out to get them. It’s a common reaction. One way, in Second God War, would be to have it be the gods that are helping, plaguing, the party. After all if someone is really role-playing there is no idea of a dm. Just some force that is, or they might feel is, directed against them. So next time someone expresses such a sentiment, play on it, magnify it, tell them yes, there is someone, something, out to get you. Increase their paranoia.

the belief that DMs are out to get you I believe stems from alot of DMs out there not knowing how to combine story telling and the use of the client and tools. alot of PW’s often only accept new DMs on their teams from their player base. and a majority dont get the guidence from a experienced DM or a admin with time. droping monsters on the player from the client or DMs that go in character to show off and assult with their visual effects or changed appearences as being the extent of their DM knowledge has been very common in NWN.
ive encounted many dungeon masters who never heard of the DMFI or know that NWN is based off of Dungeons & Dragons and there are things you can do storywise to think outside of the NWN game mechanics usen simply the DMFI dice tools and story telling. making the possabilities of their imagination fully possable with NWN even if you have to turn the session into a text based one with limited visuals.
players are always going to have a degree of mistrust on Dungeon Masters no matter their experience for they represent the characters that get in your way be it villans or the uncopertive king that wont lift a finger to save their own kingdom. but in time youll gain a player base for yourself if you give the players good adventures and they will come to trust they will have fun gaming with you if they live or die.
im going to work out my schedule for next week and post up some links here to some more DMFM modules and also do a session to just discuss the DMFI tools and ill try to nab some more Neverwinter connections Dungeon Masters to share their experiences as well during them live.

I very much enjoyed the “Desperate Measures” event, both the players and my fellow DM were outstanding and knew how to have fun. Glad people had a good time. Also got a lot out of the discussion afterwards, I always learn something talking to other NWN community members about their interests.

Thank you Kalia! I saw it as well., Nifty!
Trey!!! Welcome back! Catch a any fish? Did any big ones get away? :p

Welcome back trey. Oh and Carlo. Will I be able to have my character for desperate measures continued in a way?
Posted on April 21st, 2008 at 9:57 am
Yeah Skunk. I get what you are saying. You want to increase the pleasure people have in the game, and alleviate their fears, real or imagined, that you are out to get them. I think it is a noble and worthwhile effort to show people how to get the most out of the game. Sometimes you just have to make a decision in regards to how you interpret a particular action, or how npc’s might interpret it, and it sort of spoils it if people are whining or complaining about your treatment; but it is true that even with unfavorable decisions if the players are familiar with your overall style and generally fair rulings, they will be more likely to accept them. Good points. Sorry if I was a bit jaded in my comment.

Another great podcast. I am an old PnP player and think running the game multi player is the way to go. With a DM is even better. Unfortunately due to my personal schedule I have very little time to play a multi player or DMed game, but greatly appreciate hearing all about it.

Posted on April 22nd, 2008 at 9:20 am
You can not institutionalize me!! I was told I was ok now. They promised!! :p
