Perhaps if you got into a bit more detail, it would spur other people to join the conversation.

Anyway, there's something just totally awesome about outplaying the GM, isn't there?



One of my secondary characters was the emperor of a small country. The GM was pretty set on his villain dominating the entire world, and so my emperor guy had to die for the villain's complete control to happen. He didn't ask me if it was okay, he literally just said "Your emperor dude needs to die, let's collab on skype and make it happen."

It wasn't hard to pull my dragon emperor into a dangerous situation. The capitol was under attack, and his elemental magic put him on a tier high enough where he was the only person who could deal with this little crisis. Long story short, the emperor pretty much solo defended the capital, and then the GM made a soldier run up to the emperor and ask for further instructions. I knew this soldier was suppose to end the emperor's life. The GM made an effort to display the cunning of the enemy soldiers, who could shape shift into almost anything. It wasn't suppose to be widely known, but in an earlier post my main character told the emperor about their shape shifting abilities. I also made a point in previous posts to outline how the dragon emperor could "see" magic, which made it even easier for him to spot something like a wraith cloaked like a soldier. So I had the emperor promptly destroy the soldier, then proceeded to write an inner monolog where the emperor goes over everything that gave him the ability to spot the wraith. The GM was baffled, laughed in amusement, and decided that the emperor could survive the battle. The emperor actually survived the entire RP, and his country served as a base of operations for the heroes. He later admitted that killing off the dragon emperor would have been a mistake, and was glad he lasted till the very end.
