The game started after 2 AM when the bar shut down and went all night. Guys would bring goodies from the kitchen like fried ravioli, chicken wings, and also a ton of beer. Things went really well until one time there was a "discussion" about some magical treasure in my fairly low-magic world. It turned into an all out fight with one player throwing a case of beer at another player chipping his tooth. I almost called the cops to break the whole thing up.You know what? The next week we played and everybody was great and enjoying the game. Looking back I think that explosive moment let people vent and saved one of the most enjoyable campaigns I have ever run. Sometimes being above board with your problems can cut off tensions down the road. Of course, I am not advocating throwing cases of liquor at anybody's head <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
