    Kinda missing the point of a group storytelling experience if the GM feels like anything was fucked up.

      On the one hand, “Oh yall latched onto an inoccuous flavor comment I made and now you want to go somewhere else entirely? Okay, gimme a minute.”

      On the other hand, “please for the love of God I set this situation up specifically for the players background and character growth so stay here a minute and just solve the goddamn riddle. Its horse, okay the answer is horse!”

      THANK YOU you are the first person I’ve seen besides myself actually get that the game is a storytelling exercise with rules.

      It caused a huge kerfuffle last time a played because the dm only invited me to the group to give therapy to the woman he had a crush on, whose husband only agreed to play because he has gaming addiction problems and he obsesses over the board game elements and minmaxxing. Now if they had told me I was going to be expected to give therapy to this woman, I would have just not joined the group. Instead, we got 3 lousy sessions in and they still owe me money.
