>DM says, anyone can join his private game>Under the condition that DM will kick the fuck out of the group anyone he deems should be kicked. No appeal. Thats the condition to enterFair? Unfair? Some SJWs in our LFGS are upset over this, so I'm wondering.
another thread for the pile. you love keeping it sitting at over 30 shit threads, dont you
>>97075985That's the condition of any and all games because the GM is the only member pf a group whose departure de facto ends the game.
>>97076002>40 filtered>96 hidden
>>97075985>Some SJWs in our LFGS are upset over thisThis is a green flag.
>>97075985What's even the alternative to that? The group should be able to kick the DM or what? What a retarded thread.
>>97076067OP here.DM adjusts, bends, caters to the players
How fucking desperate must you be to run a game for strangers at a store.
His game, his rules.Foregoing vetting makes such a stance perfectly reasonable.Kill all faggots who kvetch over it.
Absolutely abhorrent thread. Everyone who read the OP post lost 10 points of IQ instantly.
>>97075985Fair, but unlikely to garner any serious effort.
>>97075985>private game>DM will kick the fuck out of the group anyone he deems should be kicked...I'm waiting to see what the issue with this is.
>>97075985Why would anyone need to be kicked out? The DM is in charge of everything about the game, how could he possibly get so butthurt that he needs to demand that someone else leaves as opposed to them leaving because they're not having a good time
>>97076283Shit man, DMs can do that in Public games, let alone whatever the hell a "private" game entails.
>>97076307Bad actors rely on people being trained by society to look for compromises in order to get away with their shit. Like chronic cheaters that make fake excuses and apologies when caught, only to keep doing it anyways. Those are the kind of people who will also stay unless explicitly told to leave and never come back.
>>97075985That's how literally every private table works.
>>97076307>how could anyone possibly cause problems for other people
>>97075985Perfectly fair, but I've never actually seen a DM kick someone from a game.You'd have to be a problem for a while to actually get kicked.
>>97076581The DM controls the game. If controlling the game somehow isn't enough and this mystery person is still capable of causing trouble, then he must be doing something outside of the game. What makes the DM particularly more qualified or capable of kicking anyone out of the social group at this point outside of some inflated neckbeard ego?It's like some autismo walking into a room and saying>if I don't like you, you don't get to be my friendsYeah, okay, everyone has this power you fat smelly fuck.
>>97076744>What makes the DM particularly more qualified or capable of kicking anyone out of the social group at this point outside of some inflated neckbeard ego?"This is my house, you're being a prick, get out"
>>97076771Good thing he reserved the right or that guy could have stayed in his house indefinitely.
>>97076078>DM adjusts, bends, caters to the playersfind a different DM, whose style of DMing best suits your needs, instead of trying to change someones to your own tastes. You selfish cunt.
>>97076744The game is just an imaginary venue for social interactions. If you tell the GM that you're going to do something stupid, the GM is free to just tell you no and move on. But he has no real ability to stop you from sitting there and arguing about it perpetually, stopping the game for everyone, unless he has the ability to make you leave. Actions outside the game are what ultimately affects the game.
I've been the DM of a group for several years and they kicked out a player over politics without my consent. I didn't fight very hard against it though because what's the point in forcing people who hate someone to keep interacting with them?
>>97075985That's basically the social contract of every activity arranged by private individuals. It's a bit crass to be so upfront about it, but if someone actually protested I assume the candour was intended to discourage those people from joining.This shouldn't cause drama unless the people involved are literally teenagers.
>>97076786You joke, but I can see some absolutely gormless nutbag that exist that would try to pull a stunt like that
>>97075985Seems fair, its their game. This of course comes with responsibilities as the primary social member of the group like making sure you're clearly communicating and listening rather than not discussing issues until they're a problem and you rage b& someone.
>>97076307>Why would anyone need to be kicked out?Because some people can't bring themselves to stop being shitbags. It's that simple.
>>97075985>Under the condition that DM will kick the fuck out of the group anyone he deems should be kicked. No appeal. Thats the condition to enterThis is, literally, the default assumption of any hosted game.
>>97075985I don't get it.Choosing to not play with someone is always an option.I can quit playing with anyone for any or no reason.Goes for dm and player.
I don't understand this thread.I have literally never played a game where the GM did not have the option to kick any player.Are you all fucking retarded?
>>97076078The game is open, meaning they aren't the DM's friend group.It's better to have some ground rules, for people will act like entitled pricks. Apparently they already are, and the game hasn't even begun!
>>97081181Seen it happen when the booted player goes whining to a higher authority, like say a forum moderator or a game store manager, and the GM has the decision being forcibly reversed forced upon them. Though that also has an equal chance of backfiring hard enough for the GM to just kill the game rather than lose their dignity any further.
>>97075985I fully support the idea to play only with people you actually want to play, but stating it like this is such a weird thing.It's like going to pub and them having big "NO WEAPONS, NO DRUG DEALS" sign at the entrance. Like, what is wrong with this place that this needs to be stated?
>>97081699>stating it like this is such a weird thing.>what is wrong with this place that this needs to be stated?If I were to guess it's just a pseudocontract of sorts so people can't feign ignorance and whine about how they didn't know, and omg it's so unfair, I'm a good boi who dindu nuffin. With the casualization of the hobby it's become increasingly important for the DM to cover their bases.People being shitheads who can't act like normal human beings is what led to this kinds of rules.
>>97081965This. If you ever wonder why some ultra-specific rule or a rule so obvious nobody stupid would think to disobey it is in place, it's always because some shithead was doing it just to piss people off and going "but it's not in the rules, so it must be okay!"
>>97081965>casual calling others casual
>>97075985>>DM says, anyone can join his private game>>Under the condition that DM will kick the fuck out of the group anyone he deems should be kicked. No appeal. Thats the condition to enterThat's the condition of every fucking game in the world, bro. If the GM doesn't want to GM for you then he doesn't.
>>97081699>It's like going to pub and them having big "NO WEAPONS, NO DRUG DEALS" sign at the entrance. Like, what is wrong with this place that this needs to be stated?Went to a bar last month with this sign up
>>97081209Unless this higher authority is paying me to host this game they have nothing to say over me unless its to tell me to pack up and get out of their store. If the player I booted is paying me directly I will refund them. This genuinely seems like a problem only children/teens and the mentally retarded could have.
>>97082254>No cameras>When everyone is carrying an HD camera with constant internet access at all timesWe need to pass more laws to control assault photography
>>97081209>Seen it happen when the booted player goes whining to a higher authority, like say a forum moderator or a game store managerLike fuck you've seen it happen. A forum mod maybe but no game store manager in the world is gonna try that bullshit. Just ain't happening.
>>97082254And it was weird enough for you to take picture of the sing! Exactly what I am talking about - it raises questions.
>>97075985You're a faggot that doesn't even play games you're just posting random nonsense
>>97076307>I build a Sciapod Magicker character hailing from Andia (for the region-locked skill) and buy a bec de corbin>GM gets inhumanly angry at this pedestrian, barely-there optimization and says I'm banned from the group before I even go over my Sorceries allocationRemember, GMs are unpredictable and emotive creatures
>>97082301>Unless this higher authority is paying me to host this game they have nothing to say over me unless its to tell me to pack up and get out of their store. If you're at a public game store, that's generally what it comes down to. Shut up and deal with the spergs, or get the fuck out of the store since the managers just want to sell shit and don't want to moderate spergy nerd arguments over tabletop shit. And most choose to walk.>>97082447>A forum mod maybe but no game store manager in the world is gonna try that bullshit. Just ain't happeningTake it you haven't had a spergy kid foisted on you by the store manager because their parent couldn't be arsed to watch over them while they went shopping? Happens more than one would like.
>>97075985I don't get it. I think the GM and house owner have the right to kick out anyone (even the GM in the second case). This applies to persoal games and open games at stores, where the store is the home owner and can kick you out.Maybe the organizer to? One dude is keeping track of times and informing everyone and managing stuff, and you're an ass to them? If I was a player in that game and that person brought up after the fact that they stoped inviting someone I'd ask why but let it pass. The more I think about this the less belivable it sounds. What do you mean that SJWs were upset that a GM said he won't invite people he doesn't like to his house? Why even make an announcement about it? What is this made up scenario?
>>97076334You also have people who don't realize they are being disliked (stinky, abrassive, slow, and so on). And people who realize there are some personal differences but think it can all be worked through and become friends, but it just isn't working. Or people you love as a friend, but can't stand at the table.If anything the point of running open tables is finding new people and forming a group that works the way you like it, instead of adapting to what players you have around.
>>97076744>Yeah, okay, everyone has this power you fat smelly fuck.that's the pointwhy are you saying a GM can't do the thing everyone can do?
>>97083316it depends, a GM is a better client than a player, but a TCG player is better than 10 GMs. A decent FLGS owner will talk with both of you, see if it was a retarded argument, and if not try to find the player a new group.
>>97076002
>>97075985>GM offers to spend their free time with you, but only if he wants to do so.Is this even a question? You going to force him at gun point to run a game for you?>Some SJWs in our LFGS are upset over this,Is the LFGS in this case a real place or just the compartment in your head where you store the straw men.
That is literally the default way a table works, retard.
