I’ve got one player in particular, generally decent player, no longer new at the game. About every other week he’ll ask things like “What will happen if I ask the Captain about the Goblins?” “What will happen if I break this glowing rock?” “What happens if I attack this guy?” It makes me want to throttle him. You don’t get to know the exact consequences of your actions before you do them. You’ve got no idea what the glowing rock is, so you have no idea what breaking it will do. You’ve never even talked to the Captain before, you don’t know if he is in a Goblin conspiracy or if there even is a conspiracy to be involved in. I’m not going to play fortune-teller with you and layout the entire path of the game for you to look through and choose. This brings me to a second player, my sister’s ex-boyfriend who is forever cemented in my mind as the worst. Simply the worst. During one session when they camped outside the Ogre’s cave (after attacking the ogres outside the cave, driving them in but not pursuing them and fighting further) they were ambushed by said ogres (truly a shocking turn of events) during the night. He then demanded to know how I would run the ogre’s darkvision. Would I move them directly towards his character if he was outside of their darkvision, or move them in a general direction and then correct their course once they spotted him. This was a 20 minute real time conversation as he insisted on pumping me for the intimate details of how such a system works when compared to his video gaming experience. He then proceeded to spend the entire fight directly next to the ogres, never moving out of melee range with them. Truly, I despised that guy, and not just because he was horrible to my sister. He was just such a pain and a tool. I still remember him saying that to “truly understand him” I had to understand the Dark Souls gaming series… I wish I was joking about this guy, I truly, truly do.</blockquote>
