(I hate doing this unintentionally); understandable/excuseable if there's a last-minute emergency, but damn irritating when ditched for another gaming group, or if the player really didn't want to attend in the first place (and should have just said so ahead of time).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Uber-NPCs, both heroes & villains.  Really bad when the party needs to recruit an uber-NPC ally to help them deal with the uber-NPC villain (instead of allowing an opportunity for the PCs to deal with the matter themselves).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players who consciously make characters molded against the rest of the party (an Evil blackguar dor assassin type with a group of good-aligned PCs, esp. w/ a paladin intheir midst).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players who try to use their AL as an excuse for their actions (esp. when those actions go against AL).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Constant cheating in game, esp. when the cheater raises hell after he/she has been caught/confronted about his/her cheating.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players who are insistent about making up a character other than what's allowed by the DM (IF someone truly is a roleplayer, then why does it matter that they can't play a Chaotic half-dragon monk, or a psychic PC in a no-psionics game, etc.?)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Games being on hold/cancelled because 1 specific person didn't attend a game session (I can understand not having enough people there to play/run, but not stopping a game because a single person didn't show).  Even worse when said person has a bad habit of not showing up for games, even though he/she said so (see a previous bulleted item for that gripe/peeve).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lack of interest/effort by players to get into a game.</li> </ul>I know htere's more, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.</blockquote>
