Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 9776775" data-attributes="member: 6779310">I've been running games off and on for my FLGS since 1990 or so. The TSR Retail Play program at first.Then some LUG Trek demos, and alternity demos. Not the only one, but one of a small stable. Had only 2 problem players in Retail Play... one of whom was so off the rails the players asked for the no-PVP rule to be relaxed. The other, just not able to play without rules lawyering, and being constantly wrong... he couldn't cope with AD&D2 not being AD&D 1+Arduin Grimoire...With the release of 5E, started running an AL table, and, again, only a few problem players. 1 problem player was unwilling to accept the rules restrictions of AL play. Damned near got himself banned.1 player had a problem with the rest of the table... went to the coördinator at regional... and got told off. He eventually switched tables1 player was constantly telling his girlfriend how to play - I made them sit apart and it stopped. he disappeared due to a rape conviction. She continued to play until she decided to transition. 1 lied about his dice. Called him on it privately, never saw him again.1 player had visual issues reading dice. Was easy enough to just have the player next to him read his dice. Later found out he was suffering an astrocytoma near the visual cortex.I still run my wed group at the store on wednesdays. My season 2 and 3 AL table group, 4 of them are still playing with me - as my online sunday night group. When I moved from Alaska to Oregon (near Corvallis), we switched nights, and continued the AL adventure. Then played other things. Currently, Daggerheart, and thinking next may be L5R5 again.My deal with the local FLGS' owner is my wed group is open table - anyone who shows up is welcome, and it'll be RPGs if I have 2 players or more.  If I have just one, it'll be boardgames. Sometimes, the players present just aren't in RPG mood, so, again, boardgames. A handful of us are authorized to lock up the back room, and both RPG groups have a member so authorized.Unfortunately, my Wed Group disintegrated in the spring. Had one player remaining -  none of my others want to play with them.  Have 2 currently. Open Table is in fact a bit of an issue... when your get a personality conflict.</blockquote>
