[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9133302, member: 6779310"] I've had similar experiences as Bloodtide in terms of players needing someone to adult for them... Several of my current players have autism. Adulting isn't their thing. They, however, usually aren't in need of bathing advice... tho' I do provide a sounding board for concerns they have. Something about being 20-30 years older than most of my players... and most of my players having an absent father... In 40 years of GMing, I've had to tell a half dozen players they needed showers before game. 2 of those, I told them bring a change of clothes, show up half an hour early, and take a shower. (Both of them contributed cash to the soap fund, and both used their own towels.) One of my offspring is nearly anosmic - they have a super high threshold before they smell things. THe good side? They don't complain about any but the most noxious flatulence... the bad side? They overdo the fragrances. They've triggered my asthma 4 times since the solstice. And still live at home. [/QUOTE]
