[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 8936498, member: 30438"] Running games online certainly makes it easier to boot a player. It's easy enough to send a message, kick/ban a user, and if you think it's going to be acrimonious, block them from messaging you back. Some players seem to feel that getting to play at a table is right and can get quite put-out when they get told that they need to modify their behavior at the table or be removed. A person's fun stops at the line where it starts infringing on someone else's. Considering the above and how easy it can be to get new players, I know I certainly have grown less tolerant of bad behavior at the table over the years. I do give players a chance to course-correct, unless their behavior is so egregious that they get insta-banned. There are certainly plenty of OSR games out there. But the scale of 5e's popularity makes the OSR community a drop in a bucket. Not that I'm not found as heck of, say, DCC RPG. Gygax definitely had it out for half-orcs. In a Dragon magazine, if I recall correctly, he said that they cannot be raised or resurrected because they don't have souls, even. [/QUOTE]
