Creepy Player Habits - WARNING: reading may require a Sanity Check!

I can't speak for the rest, but mine are completely true. I am, however, inclined to believe them. In the middle of a game once, the pizza guy arrives, sees we're playing and says, "Oh. You guys are playing D&D, huh? Yeah, I'm a pagan."

Best reply to that ever: "Oh, were Babtists! See ya!" This way he stops with the assumption that only pagans play D&D.

If I had seen even half of these things I would have stopped playing RPGs long ago and probably would have gone straight to Scrabble, Monopoly and Axis & Allies, never looking back.

Pffft, wait until you hear the Scrabble horror stories.

Yeah, you should see my otherwise-normal parents when they are partners in bridge. Or when they are opponents in bridge, for that matter. I won't play bridge with them anymore, it got so bad.

Actually, threads like this make me so grateful that I never had to deal with anyone at the gaming table besides run of the mill idiots, rules-lawyers, roll-players, drama nuts, occasional B.O., etc. Certainly nothing creepy.

from a bad experience: i don't play with players who want to bring their SO to the game "to Watch" any more. D&D is not a spectator sport.

Word.
That has to be my least favorite thing. Girlfriends who are really interested in playing RPGs- fine. Girlfriends who can't stand to be away from their boyfriends for a few hours a week- bad, bad, bad!

I got another one. Eric. He looked kind of like Frankenstein's monster in khakis. He was part of my older brother's group, and even though he was a total freakin' idiot, they never gave him the brush off. This guy wasn't creepy and sleazy, he was actually a crazy person with very little grasp on reality. As in, he couldn't distinguish between the real world and things he made up in his head earlier that day.

Eric rented this tiny white house from his dad, so the group played there and kept all their AD&D books there too. One day we came over to find every book in the house had "ERIC" written on the inside cover in pink hi-lighter marker. The funny thing is we could still clearly see our names written underneath that, b/c he had crossed them out WITH A HI-LIGHTER, for God's sake. What an idiot. He then tried to convince us we had all sold him our books, and forgotten about it.

Maybe a year later he decided to become a meth dealer, and was, shockingly, not very good at it. His dad had him institutionalized, b/c he started having serious paranoid delusions, and to keep him away from his drug friends. The white house was locked up with about a 5&1/2 foot stack of D&D materials inside. (we measured once) My friend Bones also had about $500 worth of Magic Cards locked inside, so he went over with a crowbar and broke in the back door. I was pissed about that one. He didn't even call me first.

...and THAT'S how I lost my AD&D Fiend Folio. The first book I ever bought with my own money.

Waaaay back in High school I ran a game of ad&d and I had let a new but nerdy guy called Troy game with us. All is fine until the day came when two of my regular players were arguing loudly about something or other and the rest of us were waiting for resolution. Well I happen to glance in Troys direction and see the most sickening thing that I ever seen before or since(must resist hurling even now).You see Troy had really bad neck acne and here he was staring into space, squeezing these giant pustules at the table(big deal I hear you say but wait) pushing out what looked like big chunks of oozy yellow ricotta cheese and THEN HE ATE IT!!!! Urrrrrhhhh!!!! I ran from the table because I thought that I was going to puke.
He did it again at a later session but this time I made my save and looked away in time.
Apparently he did this during class as well until a history teacher in his final year pulled him aside and told him "Thou Shalt Not".




I have a memory like an elephant. In fact, elephants often consult me.

This thread is really funny and kinda sad....

I started writing down something but it doesn't hold a candle to that Sears paper doll guy.

P.S. Call the cops..

Dr. Awkward, WayneLigon, and Hanuman are in the lead so far. Thank God I've never gamed with anybody like those three have, or it might turned me off from gaming forever.
