After talking about the game for a while, I was invited to sit in on the next session. Quickly, a character was rolled up and the combat system which was a mix of Rolemaster and a long list of house rules was explained. To hit you only had to roll like six dice and another four or so for damage - hit location, penetration, critical, damage etc. After about two hours of sitting around and not getting to actually do anything the group took a break. While we were chatting the person that invited me started talking about of the blue about how he liked 13-15 year old girls because they were so pretty and how badly women aged after they turned 16. He got a little disturbed when I mentioned I didn't pay 13 girls much attention because they were still kids and I found females within a few years of my age (20)most attractive ie 18-22. He started to argue about how much pretty their fresh faces were at ~13 than at 20 or so and how I had to find the younger ones more attractive. I indicated that wasn't how I saw and it seemed a little odd to me that a 35 year old man would think 13-15 year girls were hot because they were so silly most of the time at that age they were difficult tolerate at times. He kept talking about how I had to agree with him. Then there was a very awakward silence when I told him I didn't agree with him. He became some what stand offish. I left the session shortly after it resumed. The DM wanted to know why I was leaving and I made some lame excuse. I decided the 35 year old was just too weird to associate with even for gaming in college.Later word got out that I was running an 1st ed AD&D Campaign that was going well. There were around eleven regular players and quiet a few times we had around fourteen. Soon several groups were running on different nights etc. A guy from another dorm came by and wanted to know if he could join the game. He looked a little weird but sometimes gamers are like that you know. He was somewhat effeminate and had perm. This didn't click at the time as I was excited to talk about AD&D with another player whos his favorite class (at the time it was my favorite too). He mentioned his Illusionist were always female. I mentioned I had played an Illusionist that was a human female. Several of my regular players were there while the discussion was going on and they started snickering. At this point the player launched into a diatribe about how his female Illusionist's who were always Gnomes and rode sheep/goats etc into battle would cast Alter Reality and go back in time so they could commit incest with their parents and siblings. This allowed his characters to keep their blood lines pure. Before I could replay he eagerly pointed out his female Gnomish Illusionist were also lesbians but would do the deed with "exceptional" 1/2 orcs. My regular players erupted in laughter. He didn't understand what was funny. With a straight face I told him that character wouldn't be a good fit for my campaign. He wanted to know why! I explained that Gnomes had been exterminated in my Greyhawk setting. He understood and offer to play a 1/2ling and explained those too had been exterminated in my setting. He decided it must have been something about not wanting another female Illusionist around so he offered to play a gay Illusionist. I told they those had all been exterminated also just like the gnomes and 1/2lings etc. He left upset. The others were laughing themselves silly. Finally, when able to speak again one said, "You did know he is very gay didn't you?" I said no I didn't know that I just thought he was typical gamer but when he started talking about incest I knew I didn't want him as a player in my campaign.</blockquote>
