SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ever have a player like this?

No, I have never had a player like that. Go me.

(There were other kinds of asshats, although not too many all things considered.)

What did you do about it?


like what?  Subhuman in intelligence with bizarre expectations? With a disproportionate head?  I can't even tell what traits are being exaggerated/mocked in this strip; it's too bizarre.
Yes, it\'s a typo; it\'s not worth re-registering over . . .

Yes, me :D

When I'm the GM the setting is a "guideline, and a very broad one". When I'm a player I usually quote chapter and verse every time a tree is not where it is supposed to be.

It cames from learning the setting by heart so to mess with it when I'm GMing. :p
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.
