[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3740689, member: 40749"] That's fair enough! I wouldn't want a deadly serious D&D session either, to tell the truth (I declined to join a game early this year because of a super-serious DM). If [U]everyone[/U] had been sledging each other at the table, I don't think it would have bothered me as much. As it stands, there was one guy that seemed to be doing his best to try and make everyone else look small, and their ideas foolish. Seemed awfully mean-spirited, dumping on his friends' fun, and jumping on every failure with (apparent) glee. Unfortunately for me, this was just a superficial look at this guy's personality. I don't know if he's always there for the others, I dont know if he helps run a soup kitchen, donates to charity, or calls his mum on every Sunday. All I know is this guy was treating my friends poorly in a fashion that didn't appear to be a group schtick. As for drinking, I'm no teetotaller. I'm not against drinking at all, though I rarely drink to excess. As you say, a bit to drink helps loosen people up and can grease the wheels for an enjoyable experience. IMO it's important to know how much you're able to handle before you become dangerous and/or insufferable, however. Anyhow, thanks everyone for their thoughts on the matter. Quite a range of opinions! [/QUOTE]
