This was inspired by my D&D game, where people constantly make shitty jokes and then laugh about them in Summoner Geeks voices. They even quote Summoner Geeks. And laugh at the quotes in Summoner Geeks voices.
Plus, my fucking GM looks at her notes for everything, taking 45 seconds to begin answering a question about a spell that's on a scroll. She's really, really slow, and I think she has a problem. Even given that, she shouldn't GM, since a GM should be quick-witted. I have since quit this D&D game. So... how do you keep these things from happening in your game? How do you make everybody shut up without pissing them off? How do you keep everyone on track? And how do you make yourself GM faster? |
