So, if the DM controls the guard, why can’t you just bribe the DM in person instead of bribing the guard, and save your valuable gold pieces? Seriously, most DMs put an amazing amount of time and care into their campaigns, so I’ve written a few metagame rules that reward players for thanking the DM for all his hard work.
