He is right. Organised play is about allowing people of all creeds, personality types etc to meet up and game. If you are feeling uncomfortable about letting this particular person play at your place, then you need to do what you have done already. Apart from flat out telling the guy he isnt welcome at your place, Im not sure what else you can do.. cept of course not advertise on meetup at all and simply communicate behind the scenes on something like say Facebook.

Thank you for the response. I find it frustrating but I understand the policy. Just to give a little background on the situation at issue here, this player was the second GM that I played with at PFS and almost convinced me to never deal with it again. I found him to be very abusive, and incredibly inappropriate (we had a 12 year old kid who had come with his father for his first game, and during part of the adventure where he was RPing as a fence offered to sell the child naked pictures of his mother.)

I know other gms in the area who have adopted a policy of scheduling games on nights when they know he isn't available, but unfortunately I can't run things on those nights.

I suspect I will go ahead and cancel and try to run things purely off the grid as much as possible.

Hello,

I'm making this on a throw away account because I'd like some advice on this issue without making an enemy of certain parties involved in my issue.

I have recently started running GM sessions for PFS that I host out of my home. However, in order to host these sessions I have to use the local societies meet-up.com group in order to advertise these sessions. I have an individual gamer that is very active in the local area that I am simply not comfortable inviting into my home and will generally avoid having to plan any games that he is involved in. With general games this is not an issue as I can simply monitor the meet up and see whether or not he is signed up for a specific table. However with the meet up form when I am hosting I do not have this same ability.

I have previously spoken with the VC for my area and he has stated that the open play rules means that all sessions advertised through the societies page must be open to all comers. Does anyone have any suggestions for steps that I might take to remedy this situation?

I would prefer a way that I can maintain an open sign up for everyone else in my area to give them an opportunity for games.

Thanks for all the advice that you can give me

Sincerely,

Arestes
