Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thia Halmades" data-source="post: 2739851" data-attributes="member: 35863">I somehow managed to get booted from two groups I was DMing for, back in the day.  The first was when we were all remarkably juvenile, and I had next to no clue what I was doing (some would argue I still don't).  However, now I have consistent story lines and perpetual worlds which go over well.Anyway, there was a lot of strife among the interaction of myself and a couple of other folks who had 'seniority' over me, so I went with the two friends I'd kept and went forward from there, and that went well.  I'd revist that group to run a Vampire/Werewolf crossover campaign which many of them still regard as one of the best RPGs they played in, and that was good.  Mended some bridges there.The second time I was kicked out was near the end of college, when a bunch of people I'd gamed with suddenly decided, without warning, that they'd rather game without me, despite the fact I was doing all the work.  They could do it better, I suppose.  I hope they succeeded, because there was at least one player in that squad I just couldn't stand (every two weeks: "I want a new character, I didn't minmax this one right.")Now I run two groups both of whom are extremely pleased with the game, and I've only had to kick one guy out since its inception.  I even have a co-DM via email (from my very first group, no less).  So there's a happy ending.On the issue of Orcish behavior: yes, that's how orcs can behave.  It's also where half-orcs come from.  "When an Orc and a female of another species hate each other very, very much, and the Orc wants to get a little sum-sum...."Is this appropriate for a high school RPG session?  Eh.  It's an RPG session.  I utterly and wholly believe that the behavior was wrong, that it was a bridge that shouldn't've been crossed.  However, my games are rated AO.  Adults Only.  But I wouldn't pull that with anyone under 21.  JMT.  YMMV.</blockquote>
