As a player your dice will always turn up the worst result for the players. (Never hit and low damage)
When you GM your dice will also always turn up the worst result for the players. (Always hit with almost Max Damage)

What's wierd in my current campaign is that that's mostly true except for one glaring area.Originally posted by Tasha

Never open the coffin.
That goes for sarcophagi, too.

In a horror game (espically anything Cthulhu)...
The only character who lives is both blind and deaf from the beginning.

Never play poker with anyone whose last name is Von Zarovich -- the system is irrelevent.
At least one player will doggedly insist that a completely out of character action is "what my guy would do", even if his lims go completely the other way.
Players won't believe you when you tell them the challenges are relative to the characters abilities and will sulk when you tell them you're running a skilled normals campaign. At least one of them will mutter "this is bull$hit"
The one player who uttered the sentiment about bovine fecal matter will do something stunninglly stupid, get killed even though the GM was trying to fudge in their favor, and insist their concerns were justified.

PCs would rather die than be captured.
D&D players will check each and every door in the campaign world for traps.
50% of GMs believe the object of the game is to kill the PCs.

GM's and Player's definition of subtle are radically different. True story... A group of characters in a spy/thriller normals campaign, needs to leave a car behind and run and hide.
They decide to leave it at a gas station and catch a bus on a nearby corner.
Not bad. Until they decide that subtle also means blowing up the gas station right before the bus arrives.

When the mage says "Don't touch the EVIL artifact." Don't.
... but there is alway s someone that doesn't listen to the mage.
I am a figment of your imagination.

There is ALWAYS at least one player at every game who will quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Rom 3:23
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom 6:23
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this; while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Rom 5:8
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Eph 2:8,9
