[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 3646279, member: 2002"] I have removed myself from quite a few groups over the years for all manner of reasons. > Quit DMing two groups because of combatative and downright stupid players. > Walked out of a group because I'd introduced a new player who was a very good friend of my soon-to-be ex-wife and he started poisoning the well on me. > Walked away from another group where the GM seemed to really enjoy being adversarial, after my character was killed for the third time in a less-than-reasonable manner in something like 12 sessions. > Walked away from a 1e group with over 15 players because all XP was based on ONLY what you personally killed and the character levels we a bit too disparate for fairness. > Walked away from a one-off 1e game because the 15 year old GM was a totally unreasonable, adversarial moron and it was NOT THE SLIGHTEST BIT ENJOYABLE TO PLAY. > Walked away from a group I really enjoyed because my work schedule changed and I would no longer be able to be present for the first half of every session.
