[QUOTE="Sixchan, post: 667926, member: 9189"] Perhaps. But in a Dungeon Delving campaign like the one Darkcrisis is playing in, there isn't likely to be something like this. And I think an attitude like that is pretty strict for what is supposed to be a social thing that the Players are under no obligation to come to. One of my players didn't show up for 5 weeks with no better excuse than "oh...I forgot". That is something to get angry about, not someone just wanting a quiet evening at home, which I personally believe that he is completely entitled to, and any group of friends should respect (though I wouldn't call DC's current group his friends). There are limits to this. The game was obviously VERY boring for him, and I can't really blame him for reading. No offence, but do your players have to sign some sort of contract to get in your game? There are also groups that divide the loot up out of character, giving gold to [i]players[/i] who contributed most. Just as an alternate example. Yeah, but it was the [b]DM[/b] who killed his character. The DM forced him down two levels. I think the DM should be the one that says before play that a character might not work. He did realise he couldn't participate in the group, so (quite rightly) he left. I don't really think he did anything wrong. IMO, of course. DarkCrisis, you did the right thing. That DM was a complete ****** who **** and ******* all ***** day long. (nope, those stars don't really stand for anything, but it's the thought that counts) [/QUOTE]
