This was about 6 or 7 years ago so it was topical at the time. One of the guys in our group, "Ted", is a serious min/maxer/optimizer. I'm DMing a 3.5 game and his character is basically a Smurf cleric. Ted is very smug about his ridiculous AC and claims that he is unkillable. So I attack the party with Shadows and drop his 5 strength to 0 with one hit. This kills him after 2 minutes as no one else in the party can cast Restoration. LDK: "I've got good news Ted." Ted: "What, my character isn't dead?" LDK: "No, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico." Ted looks down at his character sheet, looks up at me, looks down at his character sheet, looks up at me. Jumps up from his chair and pulls out his knife, I jump out of my chair and he proceeds to chase me around the table a few times before the other players calm him down.

I took over DMing for our group part way through an adventure path. Our DM had just moved away and my PC was recently retired. Well, sent to jail by the other PCs for his antisocial behavior. I used him as a henchman in the final dungeon of the module and the other player's enjoyed killing him.

Radish posted:I'm running the Kingmaker campaign...fairy story That was better handled than in our game. We burned down the fairy village as retribution for their pranks and have been in a campaign long guerilla war with them. Little bastards are tougher than the Viet Cong.

If Paul and everyone else involved is having fun does it matter what system they're playing?

Railing Kill posted:Agreed. The game store my buddy owns (Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine, now that I've already named Spellbound and Game Citadel) has always had a policy of free table space. He actively encouraged people to sit down and play, even if they hadn't bought anything. He didn't ever harass anyone to buy poo poo, didn't charge table fees, and didn't have a policy of playing only games that he sold. When I was in high school, I would spend whole afternoons there, playing things like Munchkin (back when it first came out +1 on you're wife's art work being great. I've exchanged emails a few times with your buddies shop (don't know if I spoke with him or staff) and they were very pleasant and helpful. Hopefully I'll get to visit it some day.

). I probably sold at least a dozen copies of that game alone for him, just by playing it with folks in the store. Good game stores know that a healthy game store is an active one. The people in the store will buy poo poo, now or later. A lot of gamers might get to try a game for free at a store and buy ti online, but just as many will be willing to pay the extra few bucks for the sake of loyalty (or to get it sooner).
