Re: What's the worst DM bad habit you've encountered
The worst GM habit for the longest time for me was adding inconvenience to the rules for the sake of inconvenience or 'grittiness' especially without knowing the rules well enough to do so. It's one thing when the GM tells us "Hey, bleeding rules are in effect in this campaign' before we make characters, this was far worse.
But the actual worst is when the DM just doesn't care about the rules and expects us to roleplay out something we can't know and don't even have rules to base actions off of.
A common one I've seen is 'free disads' on PCs the GMs don't like (and worse, the GM doesn't seem to notice it), usually in the form of Unluckiness but Dead Broke and reaction penalties are also up there (all npcs happen to dislike one player, gee I wonder why).
