[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 339911, member: 4937"] 78) You ask the player to explain his character concept and he gives you a 15 minute demonstration of his point maximizing excel spreadsheet but doesn't yet even know his character's name. 79) Your players are all people that have been thrown out of other DM's campaigns. 80) Your players are all taking medication to recover from mental breakdowns. 81) You ask a player to explain his character concept and the conversation goes like this: New Player:"Well the first thing you should know is that I have autism, ADS, and touret's syndrome, and that my father sexually abused me as a child." Me: "That's a pretty cool concept, but you can keep information like that secret from the other players and let there characters discover it during the course of play." New Player: "I wasn't talking about my character." 82) The player's coon dogs keep walking on your maps. 83) The player's cat keeps batting your dice across the table, and the player thinks it's cute. 84) The player brings his SO to the game with a leather collar and introduces her by saying, "This is my b****." 85) Whenever confronted by a social situation, your players freeze up, stutter, blush, and squirm and if pressured to respond begin attacking whatever NPC provoked the social situation. 86) One of your players starts stalking you. 87) One of your players only responds to his characters name, even if you aren't gaming.
