This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yeah. You must have done it very well, I'm impressed.

Thank yee.  It wouldn't have happened if it hadn't made sense in the framework of the game and it was really the last act of the campaign.  He and I have snickered about it a lot over the years.  As that campaign ended i had one character plunge to her death spouting curses while another was stuck in a jail cell in the dungeons of Amber with a plate of production that only produced peanut butter sandwiches, near beer, and romance novels.

In the next campaign, years later,  both players determined to never take Bad Stuff again.

If you've had that result, you're a good Amber GM.

If in the next campaign your players end up taking bad stuff anyways, you're an excellent Amber GM!

Well i won't claim to be anything but what my players always say is this "You're arbitrary, capricious, and steeped in vice, but you aren't unfair. "

When the Lyta player, in the next game, needed one more advancement point for a power advance i offered to let him take 1 pip of bad stuff.  I did the voice from the Mr Creosote scene in MP's Meaning of life-"One wafer thin mint?" "Oh, come now Stryker, one wafer thin point of bad stuff, n'est-ce pas? "

He threatened my onion dip deliveries.  I let him take the power one pip shy and told him he could expect it to work just fine.. almost every time...
