Re: (TFT) My three rules of GMing

["David O. Miller" <davidomiller@verizon.net>]

When I first learned how to run a game from my first game master (way 
back in 1977) the three rules he taught me to say to a party was "I 
don't care, there's a large rock forming over your head, and I don't 
care". The rock is in reference to his power trip kind of way to get 
disruptive players to settle down and focus on the game. The DM's 
magical rock would either drop or go away depending on what the player 
did. (He only dropped it once if I recall.) The I don't care part came 
from all of the beginning characters constantly asking "can I attempt 
to...?".
