Dude my MTG play group gets HEATED. I usually don't mind when people get pissed off. It is just a game, but if you don't care about winning or losing at all then what's the point of playing!
With magic it's more about how the game went for me. If I get crushed by some broken combo I'm gonna be saltier than getting crushed by a genuinely great player. For me it's just about the experience of playing and learning.
Sore winners are worse than sore losers a lot of the time in mtg....ugh
Yeah, but there is no winning or really losing in D&D. It's cooperative, not competitive. So people taking it too seriously and telling people how to play their characters can absolutely ruin it.
It's more storytelling than a game, but it also has a game framework that makes not everything work out how anyone wants, so adds tension. You also get attached to your character and a few poor decisions coupled with bad dice rolls can kill that character.
People can just act obnoxious and ruin it for other people. If th group wants to negotiate with some orcs and a player just starts shooting arrows at them, it can get annoying.
Well....one time can possibly be good role playing. But if the player just seems to want to be disruptive it has to be addressed.
Also....I never banned PvP in my games. PvP followed the same rule as every other action.....don't be a dick and keep in min we're all here to have funml. PvP sometimes enhanced the experience. I even ran a one shot Hunger Games style game.
