[QUOTE="twofalls, post: 2703411, member: 23718"] Jim, you know I respect you as a writer and a friend. I've gone out of my way to buy books that you specifically have written, and I know that anything you write will have worthwhile content if you allow it to see print. My experiences with different players are (as we have discussed) limited, however I've introduced a lot of my friends and some of my family to RPG's and I'm not able to think of an instance where a book on how to be a player would have been helpful. The three occasions where I've had to remove players from my games because they were being disruptive was due to basic personality clashes that no amount of reading or self help was going to overcome (well, at least not in a timely enough fashion to make me want to keep them on). The workload between being a GM and being a player is so utterly unbalanced that I've found books on being a better GM to be helpful. A book on how to be a better player... either a person fits in with the personalities at the table or he doesn't. I only read the first page of this thread, its become rather long, however you have convinced me to look at other works with a different attitude (Mercenary's, WLD, Secrets) so I will be willing to give this idea a look over if does get produced. Good luck with the project! [/QUOTE]
