D&D General Dumb Reasons To Get Booted From a Group.

[Zardnaar]

As the title says. I ran into an old mate and he told me he got booted from a group.

His crime? Not being a vegan.

There was probably other things going on but that's the reason he gave.

I'm a more keep what you kill type so doesn't bother me. If you can skin it or fillet it meh.

I'm sure there's some horror stories so let's hear them.

I have not seen some of these, but I'm guessing something like not bringing food/drink or voting the 'wrong' way may count.

Game reasons may be something like not letting me roll dice or playing a certain PC.

I got booted out of a game of Vampire because I knew the rule better than the current story teller... 3 weeks later, that group came to me and asked me to be their story teller. Just said nope, I already had a group of neonates on the go. Irony is a b*tch sometimes.

My brother got booted from a game because the host/DM had not been invited to my game.

My game was very full (7-8 players) at the time.

We were playing metagurps. When my turn came up, I rolled Biotech, Horror, and Bunnies & Burrows. They offered to let me reroll, but I got my stubborn up-- maybe if any one of those cowards had said they didn't want to play that game, instead of telling me I couldn't make it work...

Anyway, two sessions later... on the third session, I showed up and the conference room was empty and all of their cellphones went to voicemail without ringing.

I believe in playing all games survivor-style.

At the end of every campaign, the group votes out one player by secret ballot, and a new player takes their place.

The tribe has spoken.

The group I‘d been gaming with since 1996 or so also included some guys I’d known since the mid-1980s. Someone quickly set up a Yahoo Group to handle communications. Worked for years, but Yahoo decided they weren’t going to support them anymore after 2017 or so.

One of the guys set up a Slack account for the group. I told them I wasn’t interested in using Slack, but since my email & cell hadn’t changed in a decade, and my home phone hadn’t changed since 1998, I told them to contact me that way.

And they didn’t.

I got booted out of a game of Vampire because I knew the rule better than the current story teller.

I got booted because I created a Blade clone with several ranks in celerity, a black trench coat and dual katanas, while my friend also got booted for creating a clone of the Count from Sesame street.

We had a lot of fun for that session trolling the Goths playing it though so totally worth it.

Shoot, I playtested GURPS Vampire with a Brujah based on The Tick. People LIKED my PC.
