If you game only with friends in a private home, you avoid all the difficult gamers you might meet in a public environment such as a club.

In our group, we've had a few come & go but none were toxic & the core group were, are & will remain close friends. All of us place "winning" down the order of priorities & this I think is the key.

A RPG of people playing a game sounds like an interesting and amusing idea. Go for it!
