Message: <blockquote data-quote="Monkey Boy" data-source="post: 4721495" data-attributes="member: 46422">More war stories? Ok here we go: To be fair I admire the aspbergers chronic stutterer. He played a paladin face in a roleplay heavy module. He was well outside his comfort zone. Interparty and NPC interaction took about twice as long for obvious reasons. In isolation this may have been fine but also at the table was our cross dresser who spent 10 minutes of game time shopping for dresses.  Adding to the mix at the table was a 9 year old Drizzt clone who wanted to fight everyone. He picked a fight with a matronly inn keeper who told him to mind his manners after he insulted her. In response to the dressing down he drew his twin scimitars and set his wolf onto her. So out of a 120 minute session we had 10 minutes of dress shopping, 20 minutes of babysitting the 9 year old to try and keep the adventure on track, 20 minutes of listening to a guy stutter. Remind me why I'm paying money to play this? Let me revise my earlier statement regarding hating the RPGA. I have had wretched play experiences with the local RPGA. This has coloured my view of the RPGA as a whole, possibly unfairly. I understand that 3 games is a poor sample size but am unwilling to play in further RPGA games to find out if I've just been unlucky.  I am left with the distinct impression that many gamers at these events would not get a game in other situations. I hope other RPGA events are not the sheltered workshops I've experienced.</blockquote>
