Message: <blockquote data-quote="SoulsFury" data-source="post: 5448229" data-attributes="member: 4174">Not too long ago, one of my players expressed interest in DMing. I rarely get to play so I encouraged him to DM. He DMed one session for the normal group. A few more sessions go by, and he wants to DM again. We had created new characters anyway, so again, I was excited. He was a pretty good DM for just starting off, a bit of a railroader, but he is new, I can deal with it. We have been friends for a long time so I let him know my concerns, just like he does when I DM. Well, the second time, a guy I had gamed with years ago wanted join the session. The guy is unreliable from what I can remember, and the DM agrees that he is unreliable but since he wants to play and the characters are level 1, its no big deal. My girlfriend is a player in the group. She is not the typical gamer girl. She has competed every year in the Ms. South Carolina pageant, she was homecoming queen, a cheerleader, etc. He kept making comments about his character wanting to, well you get idea. The character she was playing was a dragonborn chieftain's daughter, my character was her body guard (no love interest) and his character a charismatic warlord. He seemed to be roleplaying his character so I shrugged off the comments, but the rest of the group, including my girlfriend complained.I know the guy pretty well, or so I thought, and he doesn't have many friends nor does he apply himself well in social settings. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt that he was nervous around a sexually attractive woman and made comments he wouldn't normally have made.So he came over for the next session. He was acting all weird and sketchy, looking around a lot, standing up and pacing, texting alot. I was DMing this session and it was getting annoying. About halfway through the session he says he has to go meet with "the lady."It turns out, from the people in the group that know him a bit better, he got up in the middle of our session to go get some "white lady." I'm now familiar with the term and a bit more educated about the morons that I have associated with.I just hope I can find more gamers that are as dedicated as me and my best friend. We have gamed together for about 14 years. My girlfriend only games with us because, well, I don't know why she does. She doesn't seem to enjoy it much, but she tries and seems to be learning. Hell, she probably started gaming thinking I was off cheating on her, not believing that I was roleplaying. Now she is stuck playing D&D when she called my 'bluff,' lol. The other people we game with are intermittent at best.</blockquote>
