[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1125236, member: 4134"] Well, what he describes doesn't sound "pretty good". It sounds "pretty bad". If you have problems with someone, if you can't cope with their style, and if they don't like to talk about these problems, you have to leave them. That's true for a relationship and a gaming party. I hate "bitching circles". I need a party where I can play the way I like (not that I'm focussed on one style and don't even look at others, but some styles just aren't made for me. If I have to make a dex check to avoid strangling myself with my boot laces, for example). I need people I'd hang out with anyway (even if I don't actually do). If I am in a game where the style's bad, the atmosphere is unbearable, and I have to restrain the urge to hit people, then I'm at the wrong place. I quit campaigns. before. They played AD&D (which I don't like, and after I played D&D 3 and saw how good things could be, I started to hate it!), or rather didn't: We didn't have a session for months - and the info that the session was cancelled yet again usually reached me on Sunday, 15:30. We played 4 pm on Sundays.... The reason usually was lack of players, cause people didn't show up if the weather has been good or they brought something good on TV or whatever - and they didn't bother to tell anyone, except half an hour before the session would have started (sometimes we assembled, only to go home again at around 5pm cause noone showed up). I also didn't like the gaming style much. At the moment, I'm considering leaving my Vampire game, for we didn't have a game there, either. [/QUOTE]
