[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9874981, member: 7044462"] I think it also depends on do you run online game or face to face one, and if it's second, do you play in public space or private space (usually DMs place). I run only f2f games and mostly play at my place. So, when you are invited to a game, you are invited to my home. Behave like a guest and you will be treated like a guest. Because of it, i put heavy emphasis on vibe check with new people i'm not familiar with. Sometimes, people just don't click. You can't put your finger on precisely why, someone just didn't sit well with you and that's that. Other reason is, this hobby eats decent amount of free time. You hang around for 3-4-5 hours with your group every week, or every other week. Don't know for others, but for me, if i'm spending that much time with someone, i wanna spend it in a group that has decent chemistry & similar sense of humor. Online gaming is more forgiving since social aspect isn't that pronounced. In my experience, in online games, people focus on the game itself much more. [/QUOTE]
