Message: <blockquote data-quote="Negative Zero" data-source="post: 1768300" data-attributes="member: 3794">what an awesome thread! this should be required reading for all players! this really makes me appreciated my group ... even that weird new guy from Montana who kept going on about "snickers bars" and "chilli-doging" at his first session <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ... if you don't know what those are, trust me stay that way! that they even have NAMES for those is kinda disturbing. lol i've never (thankfully!) experienced the kind of creep that's been posted thus far, but here's my meager contribution <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" /> my first game in NYC was run by this weird guy named Matt. turns out he also ran a game for my current GM (at a different time) and one session, while the group made camp and heard a noise outside the light of the camp fire, a character pulls out his bow, notches an arrow and calls out the standard "who goes there?". the GM responds by giving the player the evil eye, causing the player's bow to spontaneously combust and say in an ominous voice: "who else wants to tempt the forces of darkness?"  the players in general weren't much better ... especially the one 350lb 5'5" guy with the permanent helium voice who played the ADHD kender halfling. bizzarre i tell you. but the wiredest "player" i ever met was back when i was still at home in St.Lucia. this american woman (i think she was peace corps) found out we played and approached us at the bar we hung out at. i say "player" coz we never actually gamed with her and it wasn't even the joker grin that she had plastered on her face the entire time she talked to you, or her strange habit of yelling out "interestiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!" and "that's so, intrestiiiiiiiiiing!!!" in response to everything you said. it was her insistence that she wanted to play a hermaphrodite half-elf bard with a 12" ... no not the "d" word, the "c" one. *shudder* ~NegZ</blockquote>
