Re: (TFT) Re: Open Letter to a GameMaster



Dave, such venom hitting the webways blew me off my modem. I don't play PBEM, nor do I think I will (not because it doesn't sound fun, but because of the vary thing your ranting about - no time, I would slow the GMs game down with slow responses.) But I hope I would browbeat the GM personally (via his own e-mail) and communicate with the other players (via their own e-mails) to possibly mutiny, before I barrage all with this spleen.

DID you blow up at the GM first and he didn't respond or responded poorly before you polluted our common gounds? If you did, then I understand. If not, tsk tsk tsk.

That is why I don't think I would ever RUN a PBEM even if I could come up with a great game. GMing it would take a different skill than I have developed. That is also why I post my games "as is" on this site, I can get new ideas out without having to win and lose interest in the months it takes to play. I already have campaigns like that.

I like Grouchy's presentation of a quasi PBEM. Its like reading about the game you played 10 years ago and came across your notes. Its recalling more gloriously than it was actually played.

So Dave, its not that I'm angry with you, just a bit upset. But that will blow over by next posting.

No you didn't miss anything here, Tim.  I chose not to reveal the
identity of the GM in question, just to be nice; no need to personally blast
him in public.  Dave Seagraves
