Message: <blockquote data-quote="sniffles" data-source="post: 3415475" data-attributes="member: 30035">While I wouldn't consider myself a drama queen, I've done something similar. I was playing in a long-term RuneQuest campaign, in which my character was a member of a culture that was known for opposing the Lunar occupation. I decided as part of my PC's personality that she really didn't like Lunars and wouldn't do anything to help them if she could possibly avoid it. Our party came across a relic weapon, but we'd have to take it back into the city of Pavis in order to give it to somebody. I can't recall all the details now (ain't old age sad?). We'd have to get past the Lunar guards and then they'd know about the weapon. My character of course didn't want the Lunars to know about the weapon at all, much less have a chance of getting their hands on it. Eventually we got into quite an argument over what to do with this weapon. One of the other PCs who'd only joined the party recently was from a different culture and didn't have my PC's problems with letting the Lunars know about this weapon. His character and mine got into a shouting match (via email) over dealing with the Lunars, until it got to the point where the other character basically said, "I can't be in a group where I'm going to be treated this way. I'm out of here." I was mortified, because I'd never intended it to go that far. Since his character was new I didn't want him to have to make yet another new character. But I also felt my character wouldn't back down on this issue. I finally ended up having my character leave the group so my friend could keep his new character. I try to keep that incident in mind whenever I get too wrapped up in roleplaying my character.    <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /></blockquote>
