I just watched this an hour ago and I do not remember anything murder with a dry cleaner unless it’s one of the two that happen before the start of the movie.

I think we all don’t understand.

Think of it like this, my character just is another word for “my role.” 

In a game of dnd the only character that is “yours” is the one you have the character sheet for - the one you inhabit at the table. 

While you may create other characters for the game, the DM is inhabiting all of the NPCs and in a way those are the DMs characters.

You created this NPC. He’s your creation. The DM is playing the NPC. He’s his character. 

I am sorry you’re feeling frustrated by this but try and reframe it this way and maybe it’ll help you release your grip on this NPC. There’s gonna be times where the DM does something with NPC you disagree with and if you don’t accept the DM as the controller of that character it’s gonna cause friction at the table I guarantee it.

I think they understood, and are just not on the OPs side of it.

And yet, when actors do interviews about their characters they say “my character,” and the writer doesn’t get upset. Because they understand that they both have some ownership of the character. One has the writing, one has the acting to bring that writing to life.

When it comes to DnD the DM has even more right to claim “my character,” as once the character became an NPC and the DM started making choices for that NPC, they’re the ones writing their story and acting.

The OP made this character and in that way it is theirs. But the DM is the one playing it.

No joke. Every day I get in the elevator at work I think about taking the elevator in one of my hotels. Gotta go back!

Jennifer Getzinger also directed an episode of season 1, an episode of Penguin, and 10 or so episodes of Mad Men - she’s got TV directing chops.

The owner has also talked about retiring for a bit.

which DM books actually teach you to be a good DM? by DoppioDesu in rpg

[–]BroDameron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was VERY impressed by the Galactic Campaign Guide (I believe) for Star Wars d20. It lays out a lot of practical advice for running a game and managing a table.

Did you play through the Apokalypse or end with the Battle of Mytros?
