weekend...i'm used to gm-ing for a group of friends that i've known for some
time, so i was a little worried about doing it at a con where i didn't know
anyone...
why is it that when you gm at a con, all these weirdos come up to you and
want to tell you about how great (munchkin) their characters are???
the one that comes to mind, where i couldn't hold a straight face and laughed
at the guy, was when he told me his character has a free spirit as a buddy
that he purchased at character creation! another person explained to me that
his generated character had a charisma of 9 (from bioware!) and 15 contacts
that he could just call up anytime at get whatever he needed or whatever info
he needed WHENEVER he wanted it! (i have no problem with 15 contacts, just
the fact that the player thinks they can solve all his problems for him...on
the side, i would probably limit him to a number of contacts at char
generation equal to his charisma)
either there are people like these that just sit at home and generate
characters, or there are some very warped (and highly munchkin) gms out
there...
just an observation/opinion on my part...maybe i won't have to put up with it
at gencon...
