AARRRGGH!! (Random gaming observation)

[Henry]

Was the argument towards the end of the session? People always remember the last thing said more than the first thing.

Otherwise, I'd say you are having FAR too many good gaming sessions, if an argument dominates a good one. You need to adjust your quota - the sucky gaming sessions are far too few to stand out.

Why is it that when you have a five-hour game...

...in which four-and-a-half hours were fantastic, with almost everything you could have hoped for...

...and half an hour was lost to an in-character argument that went too far due to conflicting concepts and nobody's specific fault...

...it's that half hour that dominates your feelings and emotions about the game after the fact?

I completely empathize! I had a very similar experience a couple of weeks ago (except the argument was OOC), and it's pretty much all I remember about that session. Aris Dragonborn's observation is all too true.

Be happy you had such an overall good gaming experience. At least you didn't have to suffer through the usual hour and a half of dick jokes that sometimes preceed some of my gaming sessions.

When you do something right, no one remembers.
When you do something wrong, no one forgets.

This is sadly true.

Damn. Now I have to take that Complete Guide to Dick Jokes for d20 back to the store.

I've got to remember that one.

Then Aris didn't do something right by posting it.
