However, he was an experienced player at the table and other cartoonish things had previously caused issues.The fact that the other players went, "come on man, are you really going to do that" ought to have at least given him pause, had he cared. He was a bit of a problem player and a problem DM, and we don't game with him anymore. It was a weird situation because most of the time he was a fine DM and a fine player, but every now and then, he'd basically go off the deep end. Most of his campaigns ended after dozens of enjoyable sessions with him screaming at the players and aborting the campaign. The troll thing is actually a very mild example of this behavior, but the one pertinent to this discussion.There was another player that we sometimes gamed with who made a man-bat character named Namtab (and when that character died, tried to being in a bird-man named Nibor). Funny enough, the player of the troll was one of the ones who took great issue with the guy who wanted the punny name.Back then we didn't really have the concept of a social contract at the table. One existed nonetheless, but at more of an intuitive level rather than something we discussed and defined.Nowadays that kind of thing isn't an issue though. Everyone is on the same page.</blockquote>
