Message: <blockquote data-quote="demiurge1138" data-source="post: 2467001" data-attributes="member: 7451">The worst campaign meltdown I was ever a part of, I was merely a player. The DM was one of my former players, and the group was the same one I had only barely managed to hold in line with constant gettings of treasure and ludicrous amounts of violence. Mistake Number One, the DM invites a former player, referred to as F'tang to protect the guilty. Now, F'tang had ruined one of my games, was told to leave the first session of the game designed to replace it, was invited back due to group begging, then thrown out again after he basically called me an inbred moron, only not so nicely, because I designed a difficult encounter. Problem was, he's a charismatic bastard, and most of the other players, including the new DM, liked him.Mistake Number Two, the DM keeps one of the players from my old game despite the fact that he is openly antagonistic to the DM. So, what ends up happening is, while some of us are trying to play D&D and enjoy ourselves, F'tang, the antagonist and one other player purposely try to derail the storyline, wander off to take hours doing things the rest of us don't/can't/aren't stupid enough to do, and generally piss everyone off.Once F'tang openly said he preferred to design characters to disrupt campaigns, it all fell apart. The DM quit. The cabal of three tried for a while to get a D&D game together, but failed (wonder why). And I managed to pick up the pieces and salvage a game with the people who weren't horrible from the ruins of the former group.Demiurge out.</blockquote>
