D&D General Dumb Reasons To Get Booted From a Group.

[Michael Linke]

I was in a group where during the first session our character's were separated in "the sewers" aka "a dungeon." The DM displayed the whole map for us and pointed out where our three separate groups were.

One guy didn't like being in his section and said something like "I go left, then right, then left, then right again, over the bridge, up the stairs, left, down the stairs...." That took him into a section where two other characters were on the communal map. The DM said "You don't have any idea where anyone else is."

The player said "I know. I go that way AT RANDOM and see them."

His friend told him we had cancelled the game and secretly kept playing with us.

I think this the DM's fault, not the player's.

We were playing metagurps. When my turn came up, I rolled Biotech, Horror, and Bunnies & Burrows. They offered to let me reroll, but I got my stubborn up-- maybe if any one of those cowards had said they didn't want to play that game, instead of telling me I couldn't make it work...

Anyway, two sessions later... on the third session, I showed up and the conference room was empty and all of their cellphones went to voicemail without ringing.

Now that sounds like a great game idea. But not everyone likes everything. Just be honest about what you do and do not want to play.

My grand design was basically Rats of NIMH versus Aliens and The Thing in a cosmetics testing factory. Number of people who've told me that idea sounds way better than the initial reception it... received... kinda fills me with a hankering to try it again with a more sophisticated and appreciative group.

How? Please explain.

I should note that the DM told us when he put the map down that we could only see our immediate surroundings and not the entire mapped area.

I've been booted from the group more than once after inevitably breaking up with someone in that group.

Yeah, and also there was a guy who shat his pants and was too embarrassed to ever talk to anyone... He booted himself, though.

Break ups often blow groups apart.

Best one I have seen DM was sleeping with a player and they broke up. She found out he was sleeping with another player as well. Whose boyfriend was also another player.

Oops.

Then one of them joined another group which blew up.

If the DM didn't want you to have that information, he should have concealed it somehow.

There was a rather notorious incident at a Pathfinder Society venue local to me where members of the play group were making sexual comments and "rape jokes" about a young lady's character during a sanctioned game, so a complaint was filed with Paizo resulting in one of the offenders getting booted from Pathfinder Society games. But that's not the dumb banning (in fact, that banning was justly earned, IMO). The dumb banning was when the venue owner banned the young lady from the store for "causing trouble" because, according to him, it was her fault that the creepers couldn't control themselves.

I had a guy come to the game drunk, excuse himself to take a nap about an hour into the game, then RUSH out the door two hours later.

We got curious, and he had pissed all over the mattress. Suffice it to say, he was not invited back.

I said I was sorry, geez.
