[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5607346, member: 18701"] Dude, I'm much better looking than the DM in that pic. Plus my players are a lot happier looking than those guys. Maybe that's why we make that setup work? But to critique that pic in more detail: First, the guy in the suit looks like he's trying to peak at the DMs notes. So I'd have to kick him out. Plus, who wears a suit to a D&D game? He looks too important to be playing D&D. Next thing you know he's going to be eating crumpets and drinking tea. You know he's not bringing the Cheetos and Mt. Dew. So he's gone. Then there is the guy to the left texting on his cell phone. He's getting kicked out of the group too. He's either texting his mom or posting online for spoilers on the DMs adventure. Either way, his focus isn't on the game. So he's gone. The two guys in the front seem to be playing their own game with each other (looks like footsies to me). They definitely are not paying attention to the DMs concentrated and elaborate telling of an obviously important boxed text moment in the game. I have no time for foolishness, so they'd both be gone. That leaves me with Bill; he looks like a Bill and I'm pretty sure his nametag says "Bill". But then, he's wearing a nametag. Either he forgets his own name and needs the nametag, he thinks the DM is an imbecile and needs the reminder, or he likes to have his character name on the tag so other players won't keep forgetting it. Either way, it's very annoying and I think I'd have to get rid of him. It sucks too cause it looks like a really good Pathfinder game. [/QUOTE]
