Metas >~< I love having knowledge about what's going on or what's going to happen, and act stupid or surprised when it happens. Most games I just sit back and watch until my character has something worth bringing to the table until then I sit back and stay extremely quit for our groups are never the same and ruining someone else's surprise or game because I went straight for something I knew was there is straight crap. I'm very glad you posted this topic.

The important thing is to sit down and have a chat above it and figure out where the boundaries lie. If its against the rules to PvP because the rest of the group just want to play a teamwork game, then getting angry at a PvPer is justifiable because they're damaging the game.<br /><br />As for the metagaming thing, its amazing how new players sometimes settle down once its been explained to them. Its like how some people think you tap at the computer monitor rather than moving the pointer with the mouse. Its hard to imagine there's some people who don't know that, but there certainly are.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530879130076392027.post-56859078810141787432012-10-02T16:11:10.964-05:002012-10-02T16:11:10.964-05:00There are things I get upset about when they happe...There are things I get upset about when they happen in the game.<br />Like when the party rogue steals loot from the party.<br />My character may not know that he did it but it's a dick move and so I get angry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530879130076392027.post-55707861974296220872012-08-27T21:02:39.312-05:002012-08-27T21:02:39.312-05:00Good article, good advice.

I didn't usually get it myself from the actions of an NPC villain, but I have had people get real-life really angry at a friend, because of something in a game.<br />I get it, especially when it's something you're emotionally invested in. But it is still a game. I don't like losing at cards, or any other game, but I try not to get emotional about it.Tucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530879130076392027.post-39372130891226685992012-06-29T01:58:08.551-05:002012-06-29T01:58:08.551-05:00Huh? ;)Huh? ;)KLForbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264942525366104669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530879130076392027.post-42494281915516326852012-06-03T18:55:38.616-05:002012-06-03T18:55:38.616-05:00That type of BS playing always pisses me off.

On the other hand, because we've got a group that's pretty good about those things, sometimes I spill more at the table as a GM than I should. A couple of weeks ago in the middle of a fight, one of the players had something significant occur that only they could see. On a later turn, another player acted in response to that. I had to stop and say that they weren't aware of what had happened. In this case, it was actually my fault because I hadn't been clear. So I had to shut down that player's action. I did so and moved on, but I realized later I should have offered some kind of concession, bonus or option given that he'd been acting in good faith and I'd been unclear.Lowell Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359280169506945906noreply@blogger.com
