Today was the D+D game over at Tom's place, and sure enough I was elected to DM the first game by default. I warned the party that all I had to run was a module with a somewhat shaky hook, but some of them (Erik and Michelle) decided to be difficult anyway. Fortunately, with enough railroading, I managed to funnel them into the adventure against their will, and once they were in the dungeon, well, it was a dungeon.
( game summary )
Michelle and I do not get along very well as a player/GM pair... fortunately, I won't have to GM for her often. I fear the time when it comes around to her turn to GM, though, since she somehow still doesn't know the rules despite having been a member of our group for more than two years.
Note that lack of rules knowledge was not a factor in the argument, it was more of a 'You didn't listen to anything I say!' 'Don't say it to my back while I'm talking to someone else and expect me to hear it!' thing sparked by me offhandedly saying, 'oh, she was captured too' when she asked if the guards had spotted her. There were metaphorical claws out, but I doubt it'll come to anything serious.
