Message: <blockquote data-quote="ejja_1" data-source="post: 1356644" data-attributes="member: 7880">Just to chime in.Not surveyed.Between 6 and 10 players with campaigns averaging 8 months to 2 years depending on the players job/marital status and the number of children if any of the average player.Some extra information for entertainment purposes.Every group I have dm'd has at least one gamer who is disruptive.This has lead to standing house rules of no drinking or partying of any kind during gaming.These players usually last a maximum of two sessions before I or the players ask them to leave.All parties have had at least one female gamer involved, whether it was someones girlfriend or a just a friend.The female gamers tend to be more cautious and thusly seem to survive longer than the males characters.And strange but not so surprising, the females have never been the disruptive element. Attention getting, grandstanding and generally showing off sure, but never to the detrement of the game itself.More odd factoids.At least one player always has to play toy soldiers with the minis, this is a pet peeve of mine.( spend 3 to 4 hours painting and basing a mini and then have someone bend the sword until it breaks off, youll understand.)Even when announced with threats of bodily harm that this action will not be tolerated, someone still has to act like they are 3 years old.Male players with thier girlfriends playing have a tendency to try to roleplay thier respective charcters into a sexual situation with thier SO's character. Even when it is completely unlikely thay would entertain this in character. IE: male player playing 4th lv 1/2 ord barb, constantly hits on the girlfriends female gnome wizard. Does it constantly even when the other players object, and actually gets upset with the rest of the group when they complain telling them it's between them and to mind thier own business.Groups have stopped gaming over smoking non smoking prefrences.Im an ex smoker, so I am a little more forgiving when players request a smoke break. But the non smokers have been known to complain about it taking up game time, and one or two have actually stopped coming to gaming just for that reason.And finally, all my players are very anal about other players using thier dice. One player has even been known to throw dice in the trash if the other players have touched them, becuase it's now infested with the other players ju ju.</blockquote>
