It is due to the open nature of FLGS and open table cons. If you know no one, have ticked off a group or two, or have moved to a new city this is the go-to place. It's great it exists. But, unlike a private session, open sessions you do not really have a vetting process. To come into my home session, you either have to have another player recommend you or if know no one, at least had found out about it and let me meet you. Open session, you just show up.But, for every social malcontent there are tons of great players who just did not know anyone or just want to game without having to be "vetted" to enter someone's house.An occasional open arena battle would be great. I used to do this at a coffeehouse in New Orleans occasionally (like once every 4 months). Problem is, only DMs liked to play it. Player-only types did not like it. Very niche. They enjoyed the tactics challenge and learning builds so they can better challenge players and be familiar with abilities of lesser played classes in their groups. It was awesome exercise though, and I learned cool battle tactics that made me run more challenging battles for my players. I may try to do this at an open table at a con one day as an experiment. I'd probably get some good sign ups. Maybe meet some cool people.</blockquote>
