[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 1538448, member: 5388"] Having thought more on this subject, here are some more things that REALLY hack me off. Gamers who assume that just because you're standing next to a shelf of gaming books you'd LOVE to hear about their character or campaign (even if they've never met you before in your, their, or anyone's lives). This happened to me recently when this guy actually followed me around the store blathering about how his Vampire character became the Prince of the Mid-Southern US and then his GM let him take this character with no mechanical modifications into their new D&D campaign. Gamers who think that no matter how cool you think something about your campaign or character is, they come back with, "That's nothing. My character (campaign, DM, etc)...." After having this happen three times in a game shop once, I finally snapped and grabbed this guy by the shirt and shook him like a rat before telling him to never, ever tell me that what my players do and enjoy is nothing, because such things are subjective and the players I know really enjoyed the adventure. I was willing to accept the fact he liked what he liked without belittling it, he should pay me the same courtesy. I felt so much better after that. [/QUOTE]
