[QUOTE="Jackex, post: 5183154, member: 89725"] So, I've played with this group of friends on many things, DnD 3.5 and 4e, card games, ect. My first time being a DM on a game, we did 4e and I made the mistake to tell my players to be creative and have fun with their characters. Some of them came up with interesting characters, one of them being, the Paladin was cursed by their god until they could redeem themselves and was not allowed to use a weapon. So she used a second shield as an improvised weapon. Anyway, the first 30 minutes went well, every one enjoyed the role playing, had a quick fight, and run into a ship captain. Well I now find out my players decided to secretly play chaotic/evil except for the paladin. So while the paladin is on the ship, they killed the captain on the docks. I had them captured by the crew, and tossed in the hold to be executed. At this point i'm trying to recover some form of the story I had with an important character dead. Everything went downhill from there, after they broke out, killed the crew, the dragonborn starting eating people, the human warlock started sacrificing people to his god, and the third started to skin people. Paladin tries to stop them, and gets killed by the other players. I say screw you guys, I quit. Why do I play with such jerks. After wards I find out, nothing was really planned by them and the fact I said "creative" lead two of them to believe they could do anything they wanted. This is why I've quit DnD permanently.
