[QUOTE="Ramien Meltides, post: 680197, member: 1475"] I haven't been "kicked out" of a group, but I am being "left out" of a group. Let me explain... I DM'd a campaign for over a year that went really well, everyone seemed to really enjoy it. One of my players went on to DM his own campaign set in the same world, with some of the same characters. With one or two exceptions, he selected his players from outside our original gaming group, saying his group was "too large" whenever I expressed interest in joining in. That campaign is now over, and my former player is thinking of starting up another campaign, this time a Cthulu game. It sounded like a lot of fun so I contacted him requesting to join in if possible. He tells me that he doesn't like my attitude and refuses to play in any game I'm involved in. I was surprised, this was news to me... the part that's really bugging me is, I don't feel like he's even going to give me a chance. This concerns me because I was the DM for his character for a long time, and it's rough when someone else won't return the favor. This friend of mine has never before DM'd a game where I was a player. We've been friends off and on for some time now, and I respect his opinions, so I wish him and his game well. I just hope he doesn't dismiss other folks as cavalierly as myself. As a previous poster noted, group size issues are fine with me... I like smaller groups, myself. So I don't have a problem with someone who says to me "Sorry, my group's the right size (or too large) right now. Maybe later?" [/QUOTE]
