So I'll use not come back again after a single session.The DM didn't allow me to play tactically. He tried defeat every tactic with DM caveat. That would get annoying quickly. I wouldn't return to that game. I'm a tactical player. I expect the DM to run a game using the rules when playing a monster in a tactical manner that counters my tactical play. If the DM is defeating everything by saying, "It doesn't work" or other such rubbish without a good reason, I'm out.Goofy games. Games with strange worlds that don't have fantasy tropes I enjoy or excessive magic items or strange character powers that are only allowed to particular characters due to DM-player relationships. This one is hard to explain. I've walked into established games that were outright goofy with characters with bags full of magic items or characters with strange powers that made them ridiculously overpowered. It seemed like they were playing superhero fantasy and I'm not into that.DMs that don't make interesting adventures. They toss some encounters out there with no real story or interesting role-playing involved. They're winging it and their prep time consisted of thinking up the encounter before we arrived. A DM that doesn't take the time to prepare interesting encounters is one I don't want to play with. If the DM isn't even trying to challenge the players, there is no point to playing as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't care, so neither do I.Boring players that don't want to role-play. If I'm playing with people that only want to play the numbers and see their character like a video game character, I don't want to play with them. They're wasting my time trying to turn a game capable of creating an interesting story and character experience into a video game of numbers. I hate that type of player. Ruins my experience as a DM and I don't want to continue DMing them.</blockquote>
