[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 2735439, member: 10638"] [b]ah, the memories[/b] >writing seem harsh Ah, writing angry from memories... Memories of players showing up to themed-PC sessions without any character at all and then sticking the group out during an encounter so that they could look up a more powerful character (wow, did my character's familiar just die so that you could look up the proper Greyhawk god to give you Strength AND war?) Memories of countless hours wasted on players who were there to bitch about how bad their lives/week/day sucked (across the table during the game no doubt, during a combat, with people in negatives) Memories of rules lawyers looking up the stats on monsters saying,"Dm, you can't do that, it say's here that orcs can't do that" or "that's not a spell!" Memories of people bringing spouses to the game to 'watch' Memories of players getting too drunk or stoned to play and making sure everyone else knows it Memories of players getting up from the table to go sell drugs to people at the door Memories of characters so min-maxed that the player just sat there and didn't have any fun unless there was a mounted/archer/toe-to-toe combat Memories of DM's who feel it's their job to tell the players about every character they've ever played..or "I just have to relate this completely unrelated story..." Memories of spouses making the game miserable if their spouse wanted to role-play (or if they're just not getting along) Memories of people there to play out their sickest fantasies Memories of players who steal your stuff Memories of mooch players who never contribute anything to the group Memories of players who are ALWAYS 1 hour late Memories of players who not only never role-play, but steer the game away from anything even resembling a non-military-campaign Memories of players who've played for 15 years, but can't seem to get their attack roll numbers added up, adding 30 minutes to each combat while we painfully watch them add it up on their fingers Memories of DM's who can't describe ANYTHING to save their life Memories of players who just sit there, meanwhile other people you'd like to invite to the game can't get in because' we have too many already.' Memories of drunk-girl players (no, not fun) Memories of players who never update their fighter/wizard/thief character except 5 minutes into the intro-boxed-text Memories of players who refuse to read the house rules (what? no ELVES in Hyboria? What kind of world is this? I don't care if there are 29 other races. No elves? I'm making one anyways and you can't stop me! Afterall, I'm a permanent member!) Memories of DM's doing favors for the girl in the group who's giving them some nookie after the game Memories of people ordering food during the descriptive intro and having it arrive during the dramatic-complex combat Memories of parties of rogues and some jerk that decides to play a paladin (no, not fun) Memories of hours of DM prep time only to have two players cancel last minute ..but mostly, memories of the other 98% of the time, which is what keeps me playing. jh ..
