Message: <blockquote data-quote="mara" data-source="post: 4190982" data-attributes="member: 30696">Second worst gaming session involved a game of V:tM with my old group.  The DM had the brilliant idea to invite a couple friends to join in without asking the rest of us, who brought their own characters.  One problematic quirk (among many) of this group was that characters were assumed to exist in a shared universe, so characters would be swapped between games without modification and were generally assumed (primarily by the DM guy, even when someone else was running, much to the annoyance of anyone else trying to run a game) to exist "off stage" even if they weren't featured.  By this logic, these friends were able to bring in characters whom had been allegedly given D&D-like experience (WoD players should be cringing now) by "their other DM".  In addition, in their old game they were in charge of hunting whatever category our characters were, which I can't remember at the moment, so of course they were here to try to take our characters out. Needless to say, this was a disaster.  None of the regular players were happy about this, but the new people were huge and overtly racist and homophobic to the point where I think we were playing possum on some level in hopes they wouldn't kill us.  The session was basically a hopeless fight between us and their characters.  In a fit of frustration I had my Path of Lillith Malk scream out a prayer to Lillith to express my character and her player's growing annoyance at being unable to do anything while these random goons stomp us for no reason......and summoned Lillith.  And produced a demand from the female half of the goon squad that I write her spells in the future.  This pretty much ended the session and there was much silent rejoicing.  Afterwards we tried to watch an episode of Escaflowne, during which it became clear that the guy could barely read the subtitles.  Said couple broke up shortly afterwards so that was the last I saw of him.The group split (again, this is after the molester with pedophilic tendencies left, IIRC) over playstyle differences and varying opinions on the subject of soap.  The actual dissolution took far longer than it should have due to the Geek Social Fallacies (If they change and wash, we get to keep our SAN points...  right?  RIGHT?) and my desire to not be beaten by my brother at home, but I came out of it with the soap loving half of the group that occasionally commiserates with the FLGS owner, who had to deal with them after we were free, much to the depletion of his air freshener.</blockquote>
