Message: <blockquote data-quote="MonkeezOnFire" data-source="post: 7473197" data-attributes="member: 6784845">I've never booted a player out. But I have once dodged a game because of the impressions I was getting from the DM. I applied to a game on the Looking for Group section on Roll20. In the initial skype interview with the DM I remember thinking he sounded a bit controlling in the way he was describing how things would go. Basically he outlined a bit about the world and then detailed exactly how I was to make a character. But since it was just no feats, no multiclassing, a couple of the odd ball races banned I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. After all I can be accommodating. A couple days later I went to put the finishing touches on my character sheet and notice a huge public thread between the DM and one of the other players. He had requested to be able to swap out some options and after a long argument the DM shot him down. I start to have my doubts but continue anyway. It's been a long time since I've gamed.After I finish up my character I'm hanging out in a call with the DM and one of the other players. The DM describes how he will have find a last minute replacement player. I ask him why the other guy left and the DM says that he booted him because he had spent his excess gold from his background on additional equipment before the game had started. Not even anything fancy, he had just bought some standard adventuring gear from the PHB and had it on his character sheet. It was at this point that I state that I don't think things will work out and that I'll be leaving. Maybe I should have stuck around for at least 1 session, but I was really starting to feel uncomfortable.</blockquote>
