So, I went to the Warhouse last Sunday with my wife and kids to play a game of Pathfinder. What happened instead was 4 hours of being harassed and talked to with great disrespect and derision by the GM, Jacqui Dorrough. I put up with this harassment in what I thought was a patient manner until she turned her gaze on my wife. She then spent a solid two minutes berating her for not knowing how a spell she had never used before worked.
For those of you who know me, I do not tolerate people making my wife cry with malicious intent. I stood up, packed my dice, and told her off in the exact tone she had been using. The problem is that when you are 6'6" and 350lbs, you aren't allowed to get upset. I learned this tonight when I found out that the leadership of Southern California Pathfinder Society decided to ban me from PFS play.
Needless to say, I am intensely disappointed that they would come to this decision without asking for my input or allowing me to defend my actions.
I am also disappointed in Paizo, for banning me from their convention for defending my wife from a vicious verbal assault. I had previously been a devout supporter of Paizo and their mission. Unfortunately, this loyalty seems to be a one way street. I doubt very much I will be giving them any money in the future.
