Scene: The session zero of my new campaign. Seven nerds are gathered around a table with dice, a few beers, and some sandwiches.
Player: I'm gonna roll up a ranger.
Everyone else: (groans loudly)
Player: Come on guys, what's so bad about the ranger?
Everyone else: (talking all at once with one reason after another, each trying to outdo the last)
Player: Okay okay, fine, sheesh. I guess I'll play a bard instead.
Everyone else: (cries of outrage and anguish)
Player: That's what I thought. Ranger it is.
Everyone else: (murmurs of surrender)
Is this after they spend 30 minutes discussing beer and 30 minutes discussing sandwiches? Or is that sprinkled in over the entire session?
