Message: <blockquote data-quote="CaptainCalico" data-source="post: 2171679" data-attributes="member: 2173">I'm a female GM and I would keep any individual out of my game if a) I thought they would be a bad fit with the current group & campaign or b) if there were already enough people in the game (6 is my upper limit for being able to actually enjoy running).I would not exclude someone merely on the basis of gender, orientation, experienece or anything else, however.That being said, I am very protective of my game. Two weeks ago I had a sticky situation where one member of the group (my husband's oldest friend), took adavantage of the fact that another member (this person's ex-girlfriend) was away to bring his current girlfriend to the game.  He claimed that she did not want to join, she just wanted to watch to see "what it was all about".Thing is, he never asked me. He just called a few hours before the game to inform my husband that he was bringing this person along, so she could sit and watch us play.  I tried to get him on his cell phone to talk to him about it, but he claimed he never checked his messages. So they show up on the doorstep, and I (calmly, firmly, and I think politely) explained that, while she was welcome to hang out with us, maybe watch a movie, we would not be playing if she was there. He ended up driving her back home and then coming back, and we had a good long talk. Hopefully he knows never to try that nonsense with me again.Everyone at the table should be at least comfortable with everyone else, otherwise no-one ends up having any fun.</blockquote>
