I should know, I was there. While there is still alot of people who thing rpgs are out there, the same people think that those who scream that games and rock n' roll are evil are scarier than us. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I can understand the "it's a cheap house" reason. The whole "Let's get back at 'them' by being immature and acting like a stereotype" is very lame. It would be like walking into a strange neighborhood that has a different culture than yours and then you act out the worst of the stereotypes of your own culture. What does it accomplish, a lot of negative feelings.Buddy, it sounds like to me that you are in denial that perhaps it is time for your crew to take a break from gaming, you all sound like you're stuck in ruts, subconciously know it, but don't want to face it for fear of not gaming at all. (I believe one should have several hobbies, I personaly rpg, wargame, card game, write fiction and have a son -- okay, he's not a hobby.)I was there. There were a couple of times I was in tiny towns with just a few gamers and to tell the truth, to play in a bad group over a couple of years did more to push me away from rpging than anything else. It was pretty bad, the guy who owned the only (and nastiest) game store in town pretty much invited an banned people on his own whim since he saw the place as his personal game club. His style was so simplistic that rpging almost died out when he go hooked on Diablo. One of my other players called me up a year later and said that he found that everyone in college ran games like I did and that they were actualy fun with everyone participaitng in that manner.By that time, I had found a new group ... in the same town. I never met them before because ... they never went to the store. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> So take some time off, you'll find a new group a couple of  months, in the mean time make up your own campaign and characers, learn the game more.</blockquote>
