[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 2751461, member: 426"] I read DethStryke's post, and I think it is a gentle, but funny, spoof of your concern. We often have to bring the real world into our discussions of gaming, and it is often unavoidable. However, the rules work very well over here. I do think DethStryke's post makes several important points. One in particular seems to get to the heart of many problems that I have seen in gaming groups: I have known gamers who cannot separate observations from emotion. In a few instances, some people have viewed criticism of their in game actions or gaming styles as a criticism of them as persons. I view this as a problem as people can have very different gaming styles or interests in a game. Sometimes, groups should separate as not all members of a group have the same interests or enjoy the same things. (A sure sign that a group has problems is if the DM or some of the players are not having fun. Sometimes, these problems can be resolved and sometimes it is best to move on.) [/QUOTE]
