Oh, and that jerkward otherwise known as Frank doesn't need a second chance. He needs a gift certificate for free "How to act in polite society" lessons.

You play games (like, oh, say D&D) to relax and enjoy yourself. If someone comes along and threatens that enjoyment you have two options: Grin and bear it, thus getting less enjoyment (and perhaps others get less enjoyment too), or say something to the offending party. If you say something to...

Yes, there's certainly no harm-no foul if you're talking about incompatible DM-Player styles. If a DM wants a richly-detailed high fantasy game with well-thought out backstories and noble quests, and a player wants an item-grabbing, hack-and-slash, blood and thunder, sheep-rogering campaign...

My guess is, he means that he actually participated in combat once (remembering that one of the complaints about Frank was his lack of interest/participation).

OK, in my past experience I've had not one but TWO situations that I considered to be major "double-you-tee-eff" ones, that revolved around a bad player or players. In both cases, it was players who started out great then turned bad. This is the oldest incident. The punchline of it is I'm not...

"I find your lack of faith....disturbing...."

"There is no try...only do, or do not!" (or something like that :) )

WOW! Un-be-fraggin-lievable!!!!!!! :confused: I remember Nigel...what a helluva guy.. :(

Wow...I never knew that! But thanks for reminding me of the fry goblins! And hey...remember when Grimace was called The Evil Grimace? And he stole shakes? So let's see...the Fry Goblins are now just good ol' Fry Guys....Grimace isn't evil...and the Hamburglar looks less rat-like and doesn't...

Speaking as a devoted parent, I am SO glad you ended with the bit about CPS. :)

Oh by all means...there's always exceptions. But we had one guy who SNORED when he fell asleep, and the stuff he brought that he didn't share was Sprite, cookies, and chips. Naturally, he helped himself to the stuff everyone else brought. He was eventually yelled at, and to his credit, changed...

The Burger King is creepy. And yet, the Burger King is funny. BK is my least favorite fast food joint, but I'll give them kudos on the comedy stylings of those commercials. The "Herb" commercials from the 80's were a horrible thing, and possible evidence that God hates us. Firing the PR firm...

Dagnabbit...I missed the movie. Oh well...since it's on the SF Channel, it should be repeated like, what, 58 gazillion times? :)

And let's not forget: "Falls asleep at the game" ;)

I hear ya! And don't get me wrong....I've had the pleasure of meeting and befriending some truly amazing, absolutely wonderful people. But after DMing for 27 years and counting, the odds say you're going to run into a few nimrods as well, and let's face it, those encounters make for the more...

The thread "Unpolite and Happy About It" made me wonder just how many rude/obnoxious gamers we've all encountered in our games before. So, I throw the question open to everyone. Have you ever dealt with a nightmare player whose behavior was just outrageous and/or bad? Get it off your chest, vent...

Wow...just.....wow....If it wasn't for the fact that this was a serious topic, I'd be laughing out loud at it. It almost sounds like a really bad online gamer strip situation! In our group, whenever we have a BBQ/party, everyone brings something...even if it's a 99 cent large bag of plain...

It IS amazing what sort of allowable license is present when a "good cause" is brought into the mix. "Teach kids violence is wrong?...OK, let's make a small cartoon which, if not for the message it's trying to put forth, would trigger protests, boycotts, censorship, etc. But oh no, it's being...

Excellent. In that case, my work here is done! :]
