You're the GM. ACT LIKE IT.

This is a complaint concerning another GM, not mine (both whom I usually enjoy playing under.)

I was waiting for my game to start (I had over an hour to kill before my game started, so I stuck around the student union instead of going back to my apartment.)

Anyway, there was another game being run, some of the players were junior high school age. I ( Read more... )

This isn't just bad RP, this is being horrible people period. Both the kids and the GM had no respect for you and your health. (I sure would like to see a world where theft, especially of vital medical supplies, is "no big deal.") And even if the kid who took your case was probably thinking he stole your money or (if he knew what was in it) could pawn off your medical supplies for cash. Or at least he has some kind of "street cred" for stealing because all the cool kids steal, yanno? There's no excuse for this, even little kids under ten know not to do this kind of bull.

I'm glad to see your gaming president is standing up for you by saying this won't be tolerated in any way, shape, or form and I hope both the kids and the GM either shape up or get out.

Thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, the roughhousing near the microwave oven concerned me more because it wasn't the kind one has in his/her personal kitchen. Several people were waiting in line to "nuke" their lunches when one of the boys was pushed into a couple of those waiting.

She (the club president) has had it with this BS. Unfortunately, too many people turn a blind eye to this, especially with the "we shouldn't restrain a child's energy." *rolleyes* She told me that she was glad I wasn't checking my sugar level when all of this occurred. "That would be an automatic expulsion from the Gaming Club and all events affiliated with the club. They would also lose all privileges associated with the Club. Possible ban for life unless reasonable evidence is presented for rehabilitation." She was beyond p!ssed, let me tell you.

Needless to say, whoever this GM is and however old they are, they are not responsible enough to be a GM. This is why in real life, people who are in charge of stuff usually have to apply for the position and prove themselves.

Couple days late, but...yeah. I'd write up a letter of complaint for the club president to forward to whoever's in charge of this and add as proof to her own letter. They need to be slapped down hard for that, especially for swiping your medical supplies.

"Shouldn't restrain a child's energy," my sweet aft. Do they think the energy just evaporates, once you hit legal age? No! You have to be taught, through experience and example, to settle down and focus. And at the age you're describing (early teens), that may involve revoking privileges if they can't get the point that they need to knock it the f*ck off, sit down and keep their hands to themselvesIf they don't get that rough-housing in a spot, and in a manner, that risks people getting hurt is a Bad Idea (and it doesn't sound like they do - or like their GM has seriously tried discouraging them) and if they don't get that taking people's things (especially if they have no idea if that thing is Absolutely Vital to the person's continued well-being) is An Even Worse Idea? Well, set ( ... )
