Hey /tg/, /co/ told me you could explain on why he was such an

Kids are shitty and will whine if they don't have shit to do.

Would've just been walking everywhere, with complaints about feet hurting.

Hey bro, just saw your thread over there too.

It's the job of the DM to be an asshole. If you've ever played with a weak-willed DM things often get out of hand quickly, and you get shitty powergamers steam rolling over the sessions.

yeah but isnt wasnt his endgame defeating the big bad? wouldnt fucking your players have the opposite effect?

The idea is that he was just about all powerful, but in one episode he mentions his actions have consequences. Could he have just made the entire trip for the kids easy and just sent them back home? Maybe but then we don't know what the consequences would be.

He sees his purpose as to give the kids just enough so that they can solve the problems themselves. That way when he is unable to be there to assist the kids should have enough experience to face problems on their own.

At least that's MHO

he forces the kids to better themselves because he believes in them and wants them to be powerful enough to support themselves, not have to rely on him

He was strengthening them for the final battle. Making them into adults and warriors. Hand-holding and doing everything for them would not have had the same results.

Also, he had mad bitches to fuck.

You are taking the DM being an asshole, with being actually antagonistic. He needs to be a strict asshole to get the group to actually function together.

the unproduced 28th episode (which I believe was done as an audio skit for the DVD release) revealed that his endgame was to free Venger, his son, from the forces of evil, and the kids were the only ones who were able to accomplish this, which was the main reason he kept dicking them around.

Lol thats so dirty

>why he was such an asshole even though he was on the side of the kids
Although he was largely benevolent, he was manipulating them to become the heroes he, and the world, needed.
Their intended goal of leaving the world was directly opposed to his goals of them becoming heroes.
So, he manipulated them by masterfully leading them towards their goals in ways that would lead to them being heroic and yet likely failing to get home.
Effectively, he was making them better heroes while constantly jerking their chain.
