I've game mastered a lot at conventions, and elsewhere with (previously) total strangers, and for the most part I find gamers to be friendly, outgoing, and able to adapt to the group's playing style as a whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-20110719385666364472010-08-09T18:38:36.730+03:002010-08-09T18:38:36.730+03:00Others have alluded to it, but this is a reflectio...Others have alluded to it, but this is a reflection again of poster representation versus what Nixon called the "Silent Majority", which are generally good players if also surrounded y good players and a good DM.<br /><br />Everyone is in bad habits otherwise - there is a negative feedback loop the ore bad apples you have, and vice versa.<br /><br />For example, an otherwise great DM can become adversarial when the rules lawyer shows up, or the "I played this kind of adventure before metagaming guy".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-79138028929536797692010-08-09T11:45:45.172+03:002010-08-09T11:45:45.172+03:00I was one of the new guys and really enjoyed the e...I was one of the new guys and really enjoyed the experience (I was playing the Drunken Dwarf). My friend (Sergei's player) is furiously googling OSR atm :).<br /><br />Will I be playing again ? That really depends on how much I have spare time and same goes to my friend. Yesterday was quite special occasion because we were planning to play boardgames by ourselves but we did not manage to gather players in short notice. Luckily Navdi approached me with this opportunity.<br /><br />PS. The Village Elder is one of my favorite npc ever, you really should use him again.joe blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160932623064989804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-26840556960571404112010-08-09T07:44:09.675+03:002010-08-09T07:44:09.675+03:00I like seeing how other people approach the game. ...I like seeing how other people approach the game.

But catpissmen and other varieties of jerks do exist. Them I ask to leave when I'm GMing or if another person is GMing and is okay with them, then I take my leave.
