Yes, your average campaign is pretty boring unless YOU are one of
the players.  Those of you that saw that awful movie, "The
Dungeonmaster," did you, like me, get the impression that a (bad) D&D
campaign was the basis for the plot?

Yes!!!!  You hit it right on the head when you said "Awful!"

"What do you have up your sleeve this time, Excalibrite??"

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  He was wearing sleeveless armor!!

And then, later.

"Just One Word.  Forget it!"

The last time I checked that wasn't one word.

Come On.  Even us D&D players have more intelligence then this guy!
