[QUOTE="Virel, post: 5646155, member: 24633"] Hey Elfwitch, Maybe they are Paranoid players, maybe not. Bad gaming experiences from the past, that makes it sound like they are victims. Who knows? I very much doubt any real old school player that still plays is a scared victim because of AD&D, maimed from being able to properly play new school style. Being flexiable is also part of old school gaming. [COLOR="Orange"]I think their behavior makes perfect sense IF they are the sort of players who's real enjoyment is spoiling other peoples fun. [/COLOR]Their are players like that. It can be very amusing to wreck something someone else cares about, gives a sense of power and control. Getting your roomate DM so upset that she's almost in tears...well they have power and control over her. She gave it to them. Sounds like this is the DM that had the little skeletons that were animated via necromatic magic as treasure and one of the dill weed players smashed them. Here how this works. She cares about the game. She cares enough to put time into it to make it nice and fun. Some types of players like to hurt DM's that. You say they are friends but this sounds like two guys teasing two girls. Are you sure other feelings aren't involved somewhere along the way in this little group? It's grade school, I think your cute so I pull your hair. B-) If they know you post on Enworld etc, they both may be sitting back having a nice chuckle at all the drama they have stirred up. [/QUOTE]
