[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 6743310, member: 6801286"] I'm the sort of DM that immediately intervenes the moment I sense that a player is pissed off about something. I don't allow players to attack their fellow players, and certainly not to chop off the arm of a fellow party member. This is why I always start an adventure by explaining to my players what I expect of them, which is: [B]-They are the heroes, not the villains. Even if they have bad traits, in the end they are supposed to be the heroes of the story. So please, don't go on a murderous rampage. -They will not steal from each other, or attack each other. No! I will not allow it. Just don't do it. -You will not attack your fellow players! Once again, let this be very clear. They all work together. -Try to maintain polite table manners. Please don't check your phone while we are playing. OC banter is fine, as long as we can be focused on the game.[/B] If the players get into a fight, and its mostly OC, I call for a time out. My players are human beings, and sometimes they may not have their day. I have an honest heart to heart with them, and ask them to not let their bad day ruin the rest of their evening, and that of everyone else. And if it just aint going to work, then we can also play something else. No one is obligated to play D&D. If they are not feeling up to it, then we'll just have a nice evening together, and put the role playing aside. [/QUOTE]
