[QUOTE="boredgremlin, post: 2964462, member: 31646"] i have been gaming for 13 years and as much as i love gaming i have to say that if i had to watch anyone do it for 4 or 5 hours without having anything to do i would tell you to take a long walk off a short cliff and leave. I could be spending time with my girl and kid during those hours each week. And honestly anyone who felt so elitest that they needed 3 games to check me out is someone i wouldnt want to hang out with anyway. But since i am a DM and have been most of my gaming time i will say that i let anyone game once. I had a player last session who subscribed to my yahoo group, never posted an intro, never said he was coming, just showed up at the appointed time (its posted each week so we can all relate any scheduling conflicts). I let him play, chatted and we were both freindly, i dont think our styles mixed well but the session was still fun and no one had to feel left out. He had a session my style, i dont think it worked for him and i doudt he will show again, but everyone was nice and he did a good job that game. I have had more experiances with decent gamers who just dont like a certain DM's type of game and move on then really terrible gamers. As a DM i have no issue with that. We all play a certain way and the game is designed to enjoy our time off from the real world and relax. If one persons fun isnt anothers fun thats no biggie. Thats why we have different genres of video games, movies and music. Different strokes for different folks. But give them one session at least. One session cant possibly be that destructive. [/QUOTE]
