Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Tom in the DBZ Game

Firstly, it's Tom. (not that it really matters. Call me Thargor the Planet Crusher if you so choose)
Secondly, you have no idea just how frustrating it had become. (Well, maybe most of you do)
It was rapidly becoming apparent that the only reason the players were in the game is so the GM could have people to prove just how awesome his playing of Goku was, and how obvious it was that he was so much more invincible than we mere peons. I held it in for four sessions before it became intolerable.
Maybe it was over the top. It certainly ended the game right then and there. However, after the session ended, the other players thanked me for a glorious end to a completely ejaculate-swallowing game. That is the criteria I use for determining that it was the right call.
As for me playing a Namekian? We can believe that there are hordes of bush league demigods running around with enough power to pop an entire planet like a ripe zit by farting, and yet having a Namekian in Frieza's gang was wrong?
Which once again proves my theory that Dragonball Z is a bad, bad, really damned bad show to run an RPG off of.
