[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7382649, member: 1013"] Honestly this thread just reinforces my lack of desire to play RPG's with random people. I don't care to deal with the "issues" of people at the gaming table. Sure I get it that people don't want graphic descriptions of child abuse, rape, etc, most don't and I don't have that in my games. But tiptoeing around someone's litany of PTSD conditions...no thanks. Reminds me of one of the dudes I game with and he uses D&D as a personal power trip since he has no power at all in his life due to endless bad choices he has made. But in D&D he can kick butt and be the big man! He gets whiny when things go wrong, or the dice are angry, or they run into something that they need to run from to avoid dying. Its tiring to deal with, but he's my brother and I'm kind of stuck with him. And I make a point of needling him when he gets pissy. Though the more I think of it I suppose its more of a situation where I don't mind addressing someones issues as long as it isn't a drag on my fun. I'm selfish I guess but I'd rather not play than play a game I have to be tiptoeing around stuff in as I suck as self censoring. [/QUOTE]
