[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5439224, member: 18507"] My own personal experience of walking out of a game (after the session had ended) was that my expectations versus the expectations of the GM were completely different things. When I had moved to San Francisco, I posted on various boards at game shops to look for a gaming group. This one lady called me up and told me that she played AD&D and was the GM for a couple of other guys and that she was looking for more players. Her and I got to talking about the game, but she told me that she also had a homebrew game that she had worked on and I told her that I wasn't interested in homebrews but wanted to play AD&D (D&D 3.0 was coming out in August that year). So we had a meet-and-greet up at a small cafe near her apartment. My first impression of her was that she was disgusting and her loud behavior actually kind of frightened a young lady and her two daughters so that I had told her we needed to take it elsewhere. Her other two players were very effette men who basically waited on her hand and foot and despite the fact that we should have been playing AD&D, she whipped out her mish-mashed homebrew game in which everyone had strong homosexual or bisexual tendencies. Now I have nothing against these lifestyles given that I live in a tolerant SF Bay Area, but don't tell me what I am and am not with my character that I created. Also don't tell me that my character does X when I want to do Y. Also when I say that I want to play AD&D or some other game, we better be playing said game. Then on top of all this, these guys literally obeyed this woman's commands. As part of being players in her group, they had to cook and clean her apartment. Talk about [I]domination [/I]or [I]magic jarring [/I]their souls. She told me that I would get my turn "soon". Luckily, I made my Will save against [I]charm person[/I] (believe me, I had a +5 modifier with her looks) and didn't return to the game. My second example was that I was on the DM side and one of my roommates was also a gamer. Him and I would drive out to a small town where he had some close friends whom he loved to game with. However, his friends were total cheaters, played Chaotic Jerk a-hole characters, and were basically boorish and unruly to deal with. When he was with them, he cheated just as blatantly and as badly as they did. After a few sessions of hanging out with these folks, I just called it quits and left the game. [/QUOTE]
