Time for ranting.Players who insist that "The essence of the game is Roleplaying, playing a role." Yet can't be bothered to make up a character background.Players who compare the game to a computer/console game. Especially annoying when they do this while the game is in progress.Those same "Role-players" who refuse to talk in-character.The guy who refuses to try and change his behavior when asked by the DM. Even more so though, the guy who comes to his defense.Players who complain that NPC's are just there like robots, and only have one thing to say, regardless of the fact that they do their absolute best to avoid any and all interaction with NPC's. Players who leave the party at the first available moment.Players who always play characters contrary to the tone/goal of the campaign.Players who complain about their choice of class. Especially the guy who complains that clerics are just healing machines (as opposed to, you know, arguably the strongest class in the game).Players who play the brooding loner who hates everyone else. Add to that the guy who plays the person with no friends and no family. Players who play the guy who sits in his room and doesn't want to do anything.Players who believe that if they keep trying things at random, they're bound to find the right answer if they roll high enough.Players who complain that they're inneffective when they don't even try to understand or use their character's abilities.Players who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.Players who come to the game late.Players who draw, play game boys, or otherwise stop paying attention to the game for long periods of time.Players who don't bother to learn what their spells do.Players who complain at having to either memorize/type up/print out/photocopy 12 spells over the course of the week and complain that it's a lot of work without realizing that DM requires a lot more time and effort.Players who refuse to DM.Players who can't remember the names of NPC's they've encountered, places they've been to, or the fact that the basement with the sleeping woman encased in crystal was in fact the house of the man with bandages over his face, when they'd just been there at the beginning of the session.Players who, when asked in person or via e-mail about how the campaign is going say that everythings fine only to complain to other players about it.Players who play characters who don't discuss things, and don't share with the party. Players who complain about their lack of equipment when they're in a town with "Relgar the magnificant, enchanter of goods and arificer of magic extrodinare, merchant of kings," they just acquired a large bag full of precious gemstones, and one of the characters has worked his mojo on Relgar's attractive apprentice, who promised them a good deal.Spellcasters who don't use their spells to help the party.Hm, about that covers my last game.</blockquote>
