Sound like the group wants him out. The thing about the voice stuff is that... it's really hard. Most of us aren't actors. I can do a bunch of goofy voices, but I don't think I'd try to do "serious" voices like he does. If I bombed at it, I'd have to limp through the rest of the session. I think if you're going to do voices you should practice them on friends and family and wait for them to give you the thumbs up before you use it in a game.

But that will have to be it. I have already had one player asking for the person to be kicked the next time they misbehave. And if a player who wasn't directly impacted by the player in question's actions, then it is a sign. <br /><br />Looking forward to it -laughs-<br />Can never have enough fonts of inspiration. Talking inspiration, lord has Force Grey inspired me to work on some voice diversity. I have never bothered with voice acting in my games, but I had never seen a GM implement it so well either.

It's horrible ...UE: Ugh.. That's the worst. It's horrible how one person can ruin the whole thing. 7 hours and you were angry, that's no good. I think you need to boot that problem person. It's not easy, but otherwise it will probably kill your game. The last thing you want is to dread showing up. <br /><br />It took me a long time to learn that there are people in the world who really do not have a conscience and genuinely take pleasure in messing with other people. There are also plenty of people who do have a conscience and still do nasty things if they can justify it using warped logic. I hope it all works out! At least you have another group that seems like it's going well!<br /><br />The guide to curse of Strahd comes out this Friday! It's gigantic so far. I haven't fully formatted it yet, but right now it is 70 pages long.<br /><br />Thank you and good luck!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263753821685936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-17510139181682170872016-07-23T12:08:30.844-07:002016-07-23T12:08:30.844-07:00Damn do I love CoS as an adventure, I am so disapp...Damn do I love CoS as an adventure, I am so disappointed that I won't be running it anytime soon though.<br /><br />There were plans, but I backpeddled on them with a hunch that the group would be ill suited for the environment I have been planning.<br />I am glad I did, my hunch turned out to be underestimating how bad one of the players was going to behave. <br /><br />I have one great player, one good player and two terrible players. One of the terrible players isn't really responsible for it, they are doing their best and I don't hold them accountable.<br />The other has been aggressively antagonistic and self centered, in game, out of game, to npcs, to players and to player characters. <br />I am holding back comments and observing as I don't know the people personally, but wow, I have never actually left a 7 hour session that ended in the wee hours actually angry before. Tired and disappointed at worst. Never fully awake and angry.<br /><br />I suppose it boils down to the concept that as a DM I am there to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the players, and if a player actively messes with the enjoyment of other players to make themselves happier. Then that grates me more than any other possible result. <br /><br />-sobs- wish my regular group wasn't full, I would take on the other two players without a second thought.<br /><br />Oh and hey ;) when's the guide coming out (not demanding, I am in no rush. I just enjoy your guides and like that I can purchase them now) UEnoreply@blogger.com
