[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8477958, member: 6801845"] I moved a couple of years back and had to find a new group. I simply stated some basic preferences, restrictions and style notes. So unless it's a group of pre-existing friends I don't see what the issue is going to be. Even then, sometimes you just have to accept that styles don't match and if there is no compromise you find some other hobby to share. For example I'm never going to run a "dark" campaign where everyone runs an evil character. I've played games where we had evil PCs in the past and ... no. Just no. Not if they actually play them as evil. If they aren't actually playing them as evil, I don't see the point. But I digress. My real point is that while I'm flexible on a lot of things, there are other things that as a DM I reserve veto power. If that doesn't work for a player (I think that's happened twice in decades of DMing), no hard feelings and I hope they found a game better suited to them. Sometimes the DM and player just can't come to agreement. [/QUOTE]
