Instead, they bullied, cowed and used new players, hogged the spotlight and took all the plot, and were generally awful. I brought three friends to a game one night and the trio were playing these inept detectives who were hilarious and, admittedly, a little too silly for the theme of this particular game. One of the high-ranked players went off on them in-character and threatened to kill them (the characters) over and over. Afterwards, my friends said they wouldn't come back. They had a really bad time, and were unnerved by the nastiness of the high-ranker. When confronted, the high-ranker said 'It's what my character would do'. Which is the most infuriatingly wretched cop-out, and it was used ALL THE TIME to excuse the worst behaviors.


What would stop the inept detectives from role playingly sticking a stake in the high ranker's chest?

So what does one do in the non-boffer LARPs? Is it like court intrigue/queen bee games?
