You put them in the same room and you can watch by body language they don't like each other without saying a word. I don't like and need drama when i'm spending time on hobby that should be relaxing. I strongly prefer to play with group of people who are genuinely friendly to each other and enjoy each other's company. If you can't play nice with others, you can't play at my table. </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: 15px">Conflict in playstyles/preferences</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 15px">Different people have different playstyles, and not all playstyles are mutually compatible with each other. If there are people with diametral opposite play styles at same table, what is fun for some will be unfun for others.  </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: 15px">Dispute over GM rulings/authority</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 15px">I really hate mid game discussions about rulings as a DM. If you have a problem with ruling, address it after session, be it in front of group or in private. We can have a chat as adults, but don't waste game time on it. </span></p><h3><span style="font-size: 15px">Outside/real world/personal issues/conflicts carried into the game</span></h3><p><span style="font-size: 15px">This one is extension of first one. If players have some problems with each other (had that in a past), they can leave it at the door or they can just turn around and leave. Handle it outside of game or don't play at the same game, i don't care. On the other hand, there was times when game sessions were spent as group therapy or group support meetings. It's okay. I play with close friends. Game time is primarily about us as a friends hanging out. If someone has problem or some personal issue and wants to talk, hash out ideas, needs fresh perspective on problems, sure. Session spent on helping friend is not waste of time.</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
