Message: <blockquote data-quote="Super Pony" data-source="post: 5448597" data-attributes="member: 6669292">I was booted from a Marvel Super Heroes game back in the early 90's.  Looking back at it now, I can see that it was primarily because my friend that was part of thier regular group had invited me and told me it'd be no problem and then reiterated that (for the first time) to the group on game day.  Sort of doomed to fail right? But they begrudgingly let me in.   I was almost booted initially because I rolled too well in generating a super hero.  I offered to just play an existing super hero and was told I had to play the sidekick of one of the other players as there was no time to do the switch.  I figured, okay they are into their story and having Spiderman show up would ruin their fun.  I then spent the next four hours of my Saturday being glared at by the ref, bossed around by the other players and having my d10's reversed (in terms of which was the tens and which was the ones die even though I declared early which ones were which before even rolling the first time) in whatever manner least suited the character I was playing.  While the party was fighting Dr. Octopus (really I couldn't have played Spiderman?) I came up with a tactic and mentioned it to the group and they ignored me with mildly rude "ha ha sidekick" in-character banter and when I decided to not act on my next turn the GM gets all pissy and halts the game for a food break.  He then asks to speak to me outside where he tells me that I need to leave and that I have really screwed up their fun for the day. As fortune would have it I had a chance to play with the ref about four years later and he clearly did not recognize me (I went from 5'5" and 190lbs to 6'3" and 180lbs via the geek class feature of Adolescent Mutation).  I was GM'ing and the thought crossed my mind of making his day suck.  However, I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world and GM'ed my socks off.  Luckily it was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's "Enemy Within" campaign and the game world made his character's life suck for the next year and a half.</blockquote>
