[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9394947, member: 6801845"] So because you had a bad DM, all DMs are bad? Over the course of playing D&D since the 70s, I've had 2 truly bad DMs. One only judged one session, another started out decent but burned out on DMing and rather than just manning up and explaining took a passive-aggressive approach until we all quit. But that's not what you're saying. Yes. I had a bad hamburger once, doesn't mean all hamburgers are out to kill me. When? Where? I don't remember anyone other than you bringing this up. Occasionally I have had bad players, particularly because I've run a lot of public games. Fortunately they're rare, maybe 1%? Just like bad DMs. Who? When? Even if they did, so what? People say a lot of things. While I think I would happily play a game with the vast majority of players on this forum, there are and always be exceptions. Really? You can't? The DM will take a contract out on you and have you eliminated? I'm sorry if you're in a situation where gaming is scarce, but I've quit games before even when there was no other game available. It's as simple as walking out the door. In one case it was just a matter of clashing styles in which case no harm no foul. I don't blame other people for my unwillingness to walk away from something I don't enjoy and that is entirely and completely a voluntary activity. [/QUOTE]
