Rossbert:
I figured out the part that bugged me.  There is no reason in game or in the books why you would suffer immediate social penalties from having a shadow.

He's right about that. Though he seems to confuse that with "bring misery to the player".

narphoenix:
Yeah. You're /supposed/ to torture the character. It's fun. But you don't do it by saying "here's how you're going to RP your character because I'm going to make you", you do stuff like, "Well, you're a warlock with Council level talent, so you can Soulgaze. Have a FP to look into the eyes of this random old man. Oh wait? He's the Blackstaff of the White Council? Whoooooops."

Then of course you give them a way to hightail it out of there very very quickly.

However when i cited the same thing about skin contact and even referenced Thomas and his coin and how his gloves protected him he answered as follows "Thomas is a Supernatural Creature and Can't have a coin". Which may be true but he went to presume that gloves offer no protection against the coin or the Angel imprint unless they were on par with the sanctified cloth the Knights of the cross use to transport the coins.

One more bullet for this dead horse and then I'm done. Three words: Crown Royal Bag.

Jabberwocky:
Well, I would say you CAN torture even the player along with their character (uncertainty is one of the ways, even forcing something on the player/character duo might work sometimes) but it's necessary to know the player very well and work with the overall gaming atmosphere carefully. Otherwise, it's too easy to cross the fine line between "tension almost unbearable" and "our GM is a jerk".

In this case we lack the input from the other party but generally, either he is a bad GM or his style just doesn't comply with your style, Grasharm (it seems like the first option to me but I wasn't there so I don't want to judge). In either case, no fun => quit. Your life is too valuable to be wasted on unfunny leisure activities :-)
