Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storyteller01" data-source="post: 3416107" data-attributes="member: 20931">Here's one:My players asked if another person could join. They said that he was looking for a group at school but couldn't find any. I said okay, and asked them to have him give me a call.He called me, asked some questions and the like. I explained the rules: you have to be okayed by the then wife, no extra friends without my then wife's approval, I had to witness all character generation rolls, and a basic run down of the material I was using.he shows up the next game day... with his girlfriend and a friend of his from school. He shows me three pre-generated characters, all with materilas I wasn't using (metals from FR, unpublished feats from on-line sources, IK quickplates, + 6 ecl worth of savage species templates, etc) and exceptionally high stats across the boards. I explain, again, that I have to observe stat rolls. He gets flushered but makes the rolls. Nothing lower than a 13, with two 17's. He gripes that this is a completely unplayable character, and asks to sit this one out. No problem; he wants to observe.Five minutes later he and his friends walk out complaining that I don't know how to play the game. He called back later asking to be part of the group again, claiming 'I'll help you get the game right'. He never showed.The kicker was how close I was to pitching a fit! After the player left, other players showed me noted they had passed while watching the conversation. Changes in facial expressions, comments he made that they knew would have ticked me off, etc. They were placing bets on how soon I'd snap! Must not have been in as much control as I thought I was. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
