A friend of mine had a very bad experience with a local ALCC DM.

I have been working for the past 3 years to train and provide education for DMs, and to try to create a safer place to play. Another group has also begun training DMs, sadly using some of the worst DMs Montreal has. The issue is mainly a lack of experience and knowledge, but also their way of communicating with people — breaking into a scene when it is not the right time. A power trip, in a sense.
I gave a DM workshop today. The fun part was that it was mostly experienced players and people who had also had bad experiences with this DM, so I can say it was a very interesting workshop.
For my part, I am not perfect — I have made so many mistakes that now I can teach others so they will not have to make the same ones.
Picture of the day:


Thank you for talking about my bad experience but mostly thank you for your wonderful workshop that I attended. It was refreshing to realize I was not in the wrong of my interpretation and it was a pleasure to learn how to be a good DM as well.
Everyone can benefit from your workshop just as safe education.
Bonjour Dunter,
Ça me fait plaisir de pouvoir continuer à suivre ton cheminement.
Moi aussi, j’ai eu une asez mauvaise expérience avec le ALCCVA
Et où et comment je suis supposé de me logger ?
