[QUOTE="diaglo, post: 1125753, member: 2885"] nor had i in the 20+ years i had gamed up to that point. as i noted it was a new group i had never met. i found them on a message board looking for players. it was tur..3ed. i emailed the DM back and forth for a week to find out about the campaign, talk about my character concept, etc... it was on a friday night after his kids were in bed. so it was a late game. his wife was having a girl's night out. anyway, he had two regulars from an old campaign plus me plus another new player; a young woman in her early 20's. (i guess i don't have to say i was the old fart in the group. i had dice older than she was.) the young lady brought her boyfriend. she said he didn't want to play just watch. the guy was creepy. dressed ala goth. couple hours into the session he left to use the bathroom. when he came back he picked up a note from his girlfriend stepped away from the table and kind of hovered around. i tried not to take my eyes off him b/c he was weirding me out. something happened in game that distracted me. when i looked up from the battlemat. he is leaning over the DM with his fangs exposed. he tried to bite the DM. there was a tussle and the couple was ejected. i never went back. the whole scene just made me have second thoughts about trying internet groups again. i did try other internet groups, but not right away. i know it wasn't the DM's fault, but i also knew i'd never be able to get the same sense of fun from the campaign. too many real life images would invade my game conscience at that table.
