Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mordane76" data-source="post: 681720" data-attributes="member: 7172">Okay -- now where do people like this come from?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />It just pains me to see that there are gaming groups out there run by complete psychoes or otherwise socially impaired people.  I live in a college town, so we have a lot of turn-over, and the people I game with I've known less than three years.  Still -- I interview people before I let them in, and tell them up front that I want to meet with them BEFORE they get time and place to show up.There are some player psychoes out there, too...In a group I played in, the DM regularly ran GURPS: Traveler, and we had two people that ended up being let go.  One of them would talk a great character concept, but then all these characters slowly metamorphed into a character we called "Guy with Gun."  He was also a rules-lawyer extraordinare, overbearing during the sessions, and became quickly agitated if rules discussions didn't go his way.  At the end of a semester, we changed locations and campaigns, and didn't tell him about it.Same campaign, same DM -- we had a guy, he lasted two game sessions.  The first session, he declared himself the member of a secret crime syndicate, and attempted to assassinate our charge and take over our ship, IIRC.  The next session, told us all how inferior we were to him, and demanded that the DM award him XP greater than that we he gave everyone else (which goes against the mode of XP for the game we were in).  He got mad when we killed his character gangland style and told him to leave before we did the same to him.</blockquote>
