[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 3366890, member: 2810"] It's called self-selection. If we get to the point where we're friendly enough to game together, he's already heard my tirades :lol: If I'm going to invite someone to be a regular at my gaming table, we've already established our relative position on these things and come to an arrangement. Same as if he wanted to play a monk or a drow or an assassin, other things I typically won't let in my games for various reasons. I've never run games for just anyone that wanted to show up. I run within a range of styles and power levels and have always been up front about what falls within my comfort zone. If a player can't find a way to work within that, then my game's not his style and he probably shouldn't play in it if he's going to be unhappy. If I showed up at a new group and they all wanted to play an anime-inspired game, I'd either suck it up and see how I liked it, or politely decline and move on. If it's a one shot I just let him go with it, so long as he's not screwing with other people's fun. [/QUOTE]
