I mean, for a killer DM, there have been very few deaths here. **cough cough** the woods **cough cough**
Then again, if I slowly kill you all in prison, maybe I earn some of that reputation back?
Really, it's a P.R. thing. Alacrity is just better at that than I am.
You guys think I'm evil? Try playing a knight wearing plate mail who takes stupid damage from a single arrow. You know, that had a glyph of explosiveness etched on it, and was piercing... so it bypasses the armor, embeds itself inside, explodes, deals extra damage for barbequing me inside said armor (because the flames couldn't expand to escape the armor, amirite). You know, enchanted armor? Carrying a shield with something silly like +4 vs missiles?
Didn't matter one bit.
But sure, >>I<< do a little tortue, and >>I<< am the evil, killer DM.
