[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 6641118, member: 66434"] Gaming is supposed to be a fun social activity. Subjecting yourself to annoying players week after week is always your choice. You CAN say no to people if you know that they will spoil the fun of the game for others. Not only CAN you say no, it is your DUTY to tell them no as DM to preserve a good game for your decent players. The fate of a DM who puts up with annoying idiots is being doomed to eventually have nothing but a table full of them to play with. The right to play D&D? A social activity partaken for enjoyment isn't a right. People are free to chose how they spend their personal time and annoying people will either learn to be more mature if they want to spend that time with others or learn to spend that time alone. What about the rights of people who just want to play without all the tantrums and drama? Why are their rights less important than those of someone who spoils a good time for the group. A D&D play group is first and foremost a social group. When it comes to individual rights, the rights of those who DON'T disrupt the group should come first. No gaming is better than bad gaming. If you aren't willing to walk away from it for a while and tolerate any bad behavior just to game, then your experiences will continue to be miserable. [/QUOTE]
