Classifieds / D&D Group for Expats in Warsaw needs one more player... [69]

Merged: Is there a good, home-like location to play D&D in Warsaw?

We have been playing at my friend's flat for twice and it's really good to have food and the comfort of an apartment but at the same time not very polite for the household. We tried Paradox Cafe before, a cafe that is especially opened up for role-playing and war-gaming lovers like us, but it wasn't that silent, it was rather crowded, it does not have much space either.

Do you know any other place we could meet up and play while we sip our beers? I'm searching for a place that is not loud and cramped.

You still generalize by saying 'gamers', I don't really want to argue with you on this anymore. If a person thinks newbie players are holding them back, then he likes hardcore gaming obviously and has no place in a newbie table. It's not that all gamers like to play that way.

When I say players act ignorant, I meant the players who were already not interested before the game. Everyone should work together to maximize the fun, game master is not a clown who is responsible for making everyone happy. If you are not interested in role-playing, what are you doing at that table?

I asked about the rules cause you talk like you have a bourgeois group which wouldn't play with normal rules. I guess it's because you use the word 'gamer' but you mean people who like to play with hardcore players. I'd agree that those people are not very good for role-playing community if you'd ask me. People are already prejudice on games or role-playing, they make it worse by pushing casuals out.

1. I never choose a pub for a role-playing game because it is a loud place. Role-playing is a listening-heavy activity. The best place to play is an apartment.

2. I like to prepare a game one week before (previous weekend) to make it more fun, content-rich. I'd prepare hand-outs and maps if required. After all the effort I make and the time I spent (I don't have much time either, day-job, studies and game development at the same time) if players act ignorant on the table, I feel bad. However I don't have to insult them or anything, I just don't play with them anymore.

3. There is an other extreme which is the gamer who thinks he/she knows everything and tries to argue at the table, spoiling all the joy. I know that these kind of gamers exist and I think it's just a complex. I don't play with them too. There are lots of normal gamers out there.

4. I was also an anti-social person in the past and I think if a person is anti-social, he/she should be encouraged instead of being separated with a 'nerd' or 'weird' label. That's like, the worst thing you can do. That's actually why people become anti-social, by being said 'can you go away, we will talk something' all the time.

5. Don't generalize.
6. What rules of dungeons & dragons you use while role-playing I wonder? Do you use character sheets? Do you do combat? You talk like you don't play the game but rather chat about how 'social and cool' people you are. While rules shouldn't be questioned and judged frequently by players (which would be acting like gamers in 3), game master should apply them anyway. Because your game might not be counted as a D&D game then, just saying.

Lots of companies and acting departments in universities are also use role-playing as a way of teaching, Mr. Superiority Complex the Segregationist.

You and people who think the way you do started to build a paranoia in people's minds. People who wouldn't mean anything bad or hurt an ant now question themselves of racism, sexism etc. Start learning how not to generalize and direct your accusations on individual cases rather than saying 'gamers have asperger's'. As a gamer, I claim I am less of a psychological patient than you are.


Here we can see how you like to label other people. Start to think of human beings as individuals.

If there are people from your table here, I'd like them to warn you about this issue because you won't listen to me and try to prove your claim in your respond anyway.

Thanks for the Facebook group but I wouldn't like to play with you anyway. You're quite rude as rozumiemnic stated above.
I don't have any problems with socializing or communicating. It's just I don't have much time and my friends are all Polish who are either not interested in role-playing or do not want to play in English.

Having a lot of difficulty finding people to play together as a foreigner. I'd like to join the group. How do I do that?
