At times the "it is unrealistic" crowd make me very very confused (maybe I failed a will save?).

No, It's the unrealistic crowd who failed their imagination check.

125. The DM not letting players do things because it would interfere with his plot.

"What do you mean I can't sell the other player's characters into slavery when they're not here?!"

Why wait for them to be gone?

Because then that would be slightly (only slightly) more acceptable and allow the PCs to react.

Seeing their reaction is the best part!

You do it when the player is away from the table. That way, by the time they come back it is too late for them to do anything, but you can still enjoy the look on their face.

126. Saying your character touches another character in a sexually harassing fashion, without clearing this OOCly. (Someone thought it was real cute that their female cleric of Calistria, who hit on every single NPC in the game, would just feel entitled to grab the ass of my female dwarf ranger.)

127. Stating or implying that your healer won't heal party members unless another PC accedes to the healer's in-character, unwanted, sexual advances. (Same game, cleric had quit and the GM was botting her, but decided to run with the whole "I really want the two female PCs to have lesbo sex!" thing and was, yes, making statements about how if we wanted the cleric to heal a third party member, then my character might need to suck it up and start going along with the sexy.)

Thankfully, the game died really shortly thereafter. GM also tried to claim he'd just been joking when I said that this was serious b@@~&&##.

128. Using dip or chewing tobacco and spitting into an unmarked cup or can, then leaving such around. Double booting if you use the same sort of can/receptacle as everyone else at the table. Triple if someone accidentally drinks it.

Based on real life events.

129. Peeling skin, picking at scabs, or any other similar thing that should be done FAR FAR AWAY from the gaming table...

DEATH BY MARCHING DOWN THE LEGO BRICK ROAD TO THOSE THAT COMMIT THIS HEINOUS CRIME.


Using dip at the table alone is justification, without all that other "and then" added on. Disgusting habit.

You mean you'd boot me if I pulled my hand out of my pants and put a scab on the table??? :(


No, the hand down the pants would have gotten you booted long before you pulled it out... not to mention my wife would boot you herself if you put a scab on her table...


I knew a guy that collected scabs, obviously he was a bit off :-)

14. Using his laptop at the table to email his Chinese girlfriend and order lingerie from Victoria's Secret. When his turn came around he asked what everyone else had done. Finally told to leave laptop at home. He and laptop left.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but was the lingerie for his girlfriend or for him? Also, if it was for him, did he ever wear it to a game? Lol

31: Coming barefoot to the table, and spending your time picking at the callouses on your feet.

Okay, this was actually me. Fortunately, I caught myself early, and resolved to always wear socks to the game table, no matter how hot it is.

32: Hitting on the host's sister.

33: Hitting on the host's mother.

34: Eagerly bringing your gas-fueled 'fireball generator' and asking to try it out 'to enhance immersion.

35: Bringing firearms to add 'immersion' to a modern RPG. Especially with Intimidate checks.

36: Not washing your hands after using the bathroom.

37: Not flushing after Number 2.

Alot of these are either sad or funny or both, but as a very responsible gun owner myself, #35 makes me very angry. No bloody excuse for that!!


If someone jokes about bringing a gun to the table, joke about booting them from the table. Make a preemptive intimidate check.

We booted a guy from my old group for a lot of things. He was crippled, and group pity put up with a lot, including the smell of the colostomy bag (not his fault, so NOT boot-worthy), but...

A) He kept taking his shirt off mid game. I'm NOT of the "dudes hanging out together shirtless" crowd. Keep your frickin' clothes on.

B) He not so jokingly stated that being crippled justified him being a total @$$hat to everyone else regularly, and proceeded to be so.

C) He flat-out cheated building his character.

D) He made a lesbian female character who tried to have sex with every female NPC or PC encountered. Yeah. That guy.

E) The straw that broke the group's back. He claimed that he was deadly allergic to nuts, to the point where we all made painful effort to keep the Recess cups the host brought completely out of the same room as him, for worry he'd get particulate on him. When his dad came to pick him up, we casually mentioned we didn't know he was allergic, or nobody would've brought anything close...his dad's reply? "He's not allergic to nuts. He doesn't like them".

This player is pretty notorious in my city. Four players in my new group have heard of him, and I believe everyone in PFS venture officer positions knows him, and winces when he RSVPs for an event.

We had a guy that showed up for several sessions that:

A) Kept his laptop open and looked up every creature we got in combat with. "Just for curiosity, my character won't know anything."

B) Asked if we were ok with him taking his teeth out. When we said we didn't mind, he explained that he had diabetes and his false teeth were a bit uncomfortable.

C) Drank a 6 pack of Mt Dew at every session.

He stopped showing up before we had a chance to boot him.


I fail to see how B [given that you said you didn't mind] and C were boot-worthy. Concerned he'd end up hospitalized or dead mid-campaign and disrupt the story?

None of us are doctors and our limited knowledge of diabetes made us concerned that drinking a 6 pack of soda over four hours might not be a great idea. The teeth thing wasn't too bad except for the fact that he put them on the table.


I'd trade mine for yours any day, Simon. Self destruction and mild grossness is better than moderate antisocial personality disorder.

I thought every gaming group had someone with some degree of antisocial personality disorder.

Nice job reinforcing the stereotypes...

People who fake allergies offend me.

So many smokers keep acting like I'm faking it.
People who have food allergies like me will eat any other food including broccoli or brussel sprouts.

130. Tricking the GM in an online game into letting you masquerade as a new player of the opposite sex so you can spy on how the group acts when you aren't around.

131. Doing #130 with the intent of making another player look bad by baiting him into being a jerk to the "newbie." Despite the other player proving quite friendly to your secret identity and even teaching you a few new things about the game.

132. Accidentally divulge your secret identity by logging in as the wrong screen name.

133. Denying that you did #130 and #131 only to later confess, but claim righteous superiority.

134. Later deny your confession in #133, even when the group video recorded your confession of hatching this scheme in order to spy on another player and humiliate him in front of the group.

And no, the GM didn't give him the boot. The campaign ended because half the group refused to play with him after the GM accidentally caused a TPK when trying to save his character with divine intervention.

WHAT THE ****?! No seriously, that's messed up! Not even a little bit cool.
