Just got kicked from the local D&D group because I chose to speak up.

[Nytemare3701]

I joined a local D&D group with the intention of spending time with some folks I knew and meeting some new people at the same time. Everything is going great, we have a 5E game on thursdays and a Pathfinder on fridays. The 5e game is fine, but there have been...issues with the PF game.

For starters, it's Slumbering Tsar, a notoriously high PC-death adventure path. I'm cool with that though. I can play with the heavyweights.

Then I find out that the group is level 6, Mythic 1, to offset the difficulty a little. Ok, that's cool, whatever.

I've been to 3 sessions. I've been one of two survivors in every session and only by the skin of my teeth. We haven't even fought a single non-random encounter. Wow, Tsar IS hard.

Find out the DM tuned UP tsar to compensate for mythic...except he didn't tune it so much as just ignore chunks of rules that kept it from being insane. For example, he decided to roll on the random encounter table during WEATHER encounters as well as combat. The weather in this area can kill players all on its own. Acid rain, bone storms, etc.

Wouldn't be so bad if the weather didn't last ~15 minutes and he rolled for encounters every 3 rounds. (Tsar has a chance of causing encounters every 3 COMBAT rounds)

Anyway, I brought up this oddity and was promptly removed from the group chat with a "This is what you get" type of message.

Thank the bastard for freeing up your schedule so you can hang with me, Solo, the greatest D&D gamer to have graced the interwebs. I've got a few projects that need manpower. Are you a bad enough dude to make your own campaign with blackjack and hookers?

Uncalled vindictiveness in the DM.
Dood clearly just wants to murder rampage players so only he is allowed to have fun.

Oh Solo, never change.

But yeah - sounds like the DM was a power-mad dick. I suggest breaking into his home and sitting on his couch, offering to get him coffee once he finally wakes up.

After all, you've already had your cup.

Find a place that sells uber cheap lawn gnomes.  Randomly place a gnome in the DM's yard when he isn't home every 1d4 days.  Try not to make them noticeable at first.  Kind of hide them until there's just way too many to miss anymore.

That's why we keep these guys around, Nyte.  My solution of a spinning crescent kick to the jaw is a lot less subtle

Dang it, I wanna do that with Pink Flamingos now.

And thus... the makings of a great epic were born.
