Oh I am Daishain. I was just kidding. It's very enjoyable. Anything that presents an opportunity for more roleplay is a good thing. Besides kinds of things like you mentioned earlier Daishain. I probably should clarify that.
So I've wracked my brain about this one and I can't think of a bad experience. I mean, I have had some experiences that didn't the way I had hoped, but I playing Dungeons & Dragons, or Runequest, or any of a host of other games I've played through the years, that can't be bad. It's like fishing, a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work! :D.
My worst experience was in college. I ran into a friend of mine from High School who I had no idea was into Role-playing Games and he introduced me to the group that he was playing with. I thoughtFinally, a group to play with!. Up to that point I could count on one hand the number of times I was actually able to find a group to play Dungeons & Dragons with so I was pretty excited and anxious about it.
I show up at the Dungeon Masters apartment and it felt off from the get go; I just didn't really seem to fit in with the group. I had worked up a character but I was told that I would need to sit on the sidelines and watch for a few sessions before they would work me in. Where it really broke down though was Dungeon Master's girlfriend was one of the players and he treated her like absolute garbage during the session that I sat in on. He yelled at her because she didn't move her miniature correctly on the battle mat or tried to use a skill that didn't really fit. There was definitely some power and control issues going on between the Dungeon Master and his girlfriend.
The next day my friend tells me that the group wasn't sure that they could work me in and I told him that was absolutely ok with me since I didn't think I could work myself into their group either. To be honest that experience along with a similar one several years prior really tainted my view of my fellow RPGers and I really started reevaluating whether it was a subculture that I truly fit in with. It wasn't long after that I actually quit Role-playing Games for about a year or two; got rid all my books and planed on moving on entirely. I still kick myself for that now since I've had to rebuild my Role-playing Game library from the ground up. Edited: Aericsteele on 27th Feb, 2017 - 11:54pm
