[QUOTE="Old Gumphrey, post: 3555002, member: 12872"] I actually have both those guys in one guy. Beat that. :D I used to stress about "disruptive behavior" or whatever, but I think mainly people just like getting crazy at the gaming table. I don't think I've had to deal with any truly disruptive behavior on a consistent basis. I once had a player slap his brother across the face and knock his glasses off over something going on out of the game, but since it happened at the table, it was seriously weird. I docked both of them XP (the brother was peeking behind my screen when I wasn't looking and stupidly admitted some things he learned) and we moved on. I still game with both of them. In my weekly game, a combination of 3 specific players makes running the game extremely difficult. Only when all 3 of them are together does the insanity never end. I had to end a session about a month ago because they literally did not shut up for 35 minutes. That may not sound like a lot of time, but I was trying to begin the game, and I could not begin. I couldn't get five words out before it started up again. So I took off my DM hat and put it on the table and said "ok, one of you guys do this, because I can't do it anymore". So to my surprise, one of them took up the reins and started running. He's a bit...crazy...but we have a ton of fun anyway. For me it's mainly just mixing things up a bit that gets groups back on track. [/QUOTE]
