[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4049320, member: 9037"] Walking out midgame in a snit is childish immature behavior not to mention rude. If it is because of another player's body odor. Ask to speak to the DM and let him know it bothers you. Then the offending person can be taken aside and asked to wash up. You don't have to be nasty about it. The person may not be aware he smells he or he may not be aware it bothers other people. If it is still an issue then you can say I am sorry but I can't play like this. Pack up your stuff politely thank the DM and leave without creating a scene. If the DM brings up a subject like Rape and you don't like it then again ask to speak to the DM let him know that you are not comfortable with the subject matter. If he is a good DM he will ask the other players how they feel it is very possible that they don't like it either. But it they are okay with it then again you without creating a scene pack up your bag behave in an polite manner thank the group for letting you play say you are sorry that it didn't work out and leave. It comes down to behaving like an adult who has both class and manners. I joined a group and on the first session found out that half the table smokes at the table. It had never come up before so I never had thought to ask. I had a bout with cancer and I will not be around smokers it is a deal breaker for me. I politely explained this. And I left. I noticed now that they put on their game notices signs about smoking. I often see the DM at my local Borders and he is always friendly comes over to talk. There were no hard feelings. We both understood that while we would have liked to play together this was something that neither side could compromise on. Maybe I am old fashioned and I know I am older than a lot of other gamers but I really believe that manners smooth out most social issues. [/QUOTE]
