[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8215821, member: 93670"] That bolded bit is basically step 1 The problem player type talked about in the video might go through the motions but doesn't give a fig what the gm says about it unless that feedback is "100% no" & won't care about working with the gm at all in session 1 or any other session. That player doesn't care if it fits the world so much as if it's allowed in the door. Having thought on it the last few hours, statements like "I'm playing my [I]fursona[/I]" or "I'm a [I]role[/I]player and my character..."& similar tend to be warning signs visible from another galaxy as the player is often more concerned with the integrity of.. well... notgoin[I][U]there[/U][/I]. At a table of 4-6 players the GM can't keep babying bob week after week at the table or spend a bunch of time working with him on every little detail of his characterso bob can find motivation for his character on par with everyone else while bob only needs to fit his character in[I] juuust[/I] enough to not get booted from the group or do it in a way that the gm looks like the bad guy for doing it.
