My gaming group had been pretty consistent for years. Myself and another player would rotate GM duties and then we had four others who were strictly players. Eventually it turned out that the other GM was a real naughty word person and we discovered some of the things he did so he just disappeared. This left me as the sole GM, which I was fine with for a long time but eventually I wanted to be a player again. I offered all of the other players the chance to try their hand at running a game and two expressed interest. One wanted to start as soon as my campaign was over so he had us make characters so he could start working on his campaign. As a group we decided to be old school and roll our stats and one player ended up with a pretty bad charisma, he didn't have to keep it because our house rules would have allowed him to re-roll but he wanted to give it a try. The fledgling DM would regularly bounce ideas for his game off me and he had decided that the character with the bad charisma should have bad things happen to him because he so uncharismatic. He wanted to have birds naughty word on him and other random stuff. I tried to explain that a lot of what he was wanting to do had nothing to do with a bad charisma and even if it did targeting a single player for a bad score that he, as DM, said he was ok with was a bad idea and wouldn't be fun for the player. He wouldn't give up on his plans though so when the time came to move on to the next campaign I just announced my next campaign and moved on. Luckily the other player who was supposed to DM just rolled with it (or at least never said anything) and continued as just a player for years.</p></blockquote><p></p>
