[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 515363, member: 426"] I consider it important for players to pay attention to DMs and give them a modicum of respect. I have played with and occassionally DMed for people of various ages and genders. It seems a lot of the problems mentioned in this thread are due to a lack of maturity by some players and a lack of respect. I think most of these problems can be solved by having a heart-to-heart talk with the players. (This is probably better than having their first-level characters have a heart to heart talk with Cthulhu... before dinner.;) ) My games are sociable, but there are limits. Gaming should be a comfortable, fun experience. Indeed, I would argue that rude gamers have done more to drive off potential new players than any single rules system. (If you like the players, you might give a game a chance. If you are uncomfortable with them, you may form a bad opinion about the hobby.) [/QUOTE]
