[QUOTE="Shadowslayer, post: 2402150, member: 8400"] Had the exerience once or twice...sorta. Was doing a game for some friends at (high) school who were all new to the game. I invited this fellow along because he was a member of my regular group and I thought hed be a good one to do some hand holding. I was mistaken. I remember telling him that I was trying to establish a "one for all and all for one" feel, trying to keep it positive for the newbies. And he did just the opposite...right off the cuff he got himself into a skirmish with one of the other players, stole someone else's stuff, and ended up battling someone else to the death. Afterward I said "What the F was THAT?" and he laughed his ass off. Didnt hold it against him cuz he was really just trying to have some fun with me, and I could tell he really meant no ill will. All the same I said the group probly wasn't for him. He agreed. Then I had to go back in and try to convince some of the others to came back again. I have a strict policy of only playing with friends. (I've tried posting at the game shop, but all I got were the weirdos.) I've got one buddy whos the dearest of friends, (super good guy, best man at my wedding etc) but for some reason he turns into an utter creep when you put some dice in his hands. (I've stopped trying to figure it out) I've stopped running a campaign twice because of his disruptive style of gaming. Just couldnt bring myself to boot him. Fortunately it doesnt take long for his colors to show, so no big loss of a well develpoed campaign anyway. [/QUOTE]
