[QUOTE="scott-fs, post: 1582664, member: 5714"] In general, it has come down to a group vote, usually with votes along the lines of "if he's going to be playing, I won't be." Where I live, there isn't many to choose from, and my current group is myself and three others. There are some others that we could allow to play but they fall along the following lines: - Munchkins (who just want to kill stuff and be better than the other players) - People we wouldn't hang out with otherwise. - Casual players who feel 4-6 hours, one day a week is too much time to devote to participating on a consistent basis. That second one is the big one. I'll (ideally) be introducing a Social Contract to the group before we start up a new campaign, which outlines each participant's Rights and Responsibilities when it comes to the game. Eventually I'll post it online under the OGL (all Open Content), for others to use and/or modify for their own groups. Originally the group started with me and another player discussing starting up a game. I had another friend who I had talked to previously, but we didn't have any others at the time, so it started with 3. Then we had another player join who we could tolerate as a person (and has done reasonably well). That is the current group. There was/is also a couple others that have joined in the past. One came in and was part of the group for about 4 sessions, but was only there for a total amount of time of about 1 and a half sessions (going from around 5p to 11p), before I dropped him. He simply stopped showing up, and didn't bother to tell us. He apparently got bored, but he had joined at a time which was between adventures. And to think, I considered him one of my closest friends (hell we were roommates for a while, and he had brought me into gaming through Dragonlance novels). There was another player who was there for the first 8 sessions, but his play style and mine conflicted. He must've lost interest because by the 8th or so session, whenever we'd play he was nowhere that we could get in contact with him. There was another that was more of a casual player, though he did well, and didn't like it that he had to devote just 6 hours a week to playing (the group's biggest problem right now seems to be that our actual gaming time (where we actually play) has shrunk to the 2 hours between 7 and 9p). We had another player who felt that a sorcerer that took one non combat attack spell sucked. His character was very simplistic, but was representative of his other gaming experience. Needless to say, there have been other players. I've been planning to search the various player databases for people in my area. So, with that said, if you live in the Ottawa, ON, Canada area and looking for one (or two) more players, let me know. [/QUOTE]
