[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 3996053, member: 4441"] Thank you for all the thoughtful replies! I will take full responsibility for the fact that I sound like an arrogant twerp in the original post for saying, "Well, everyone liked my FABULOUS descriptions but this one player!" There was probably a better way to phrase that. It also isn't just me. In the game that her husband DMs she does the same kind of thing, which means it's not a unique occurance. Other players have noticed her roleplaying peculiarities, so I'm not hallucinating. [i]However[/i], in the grand scheme of things, this is small potatoes. I've been in bad groups with bad players. Not as bad as some players (sorry Don!), but bad enough that I know I've been lucky. And her roleplaying isn't really game-disrupting, it's just... There's a certain [i]je ne sais quoi[/i] that's lacking. It's not even the fame-in-hiding thing, it's the blaseness... *sigh* It's difficult to describe. I know I have a pretty darn good gaming group going on here, and I just don't want this little quirk to turn into something that starts to bug the living snot out of me. So I'm trying to figure out a way to fix/compromise/learn to ignore it. But, thanks to your advice, I will be going with some consequences to her desire for fame (the good and the bad). The doing the roleplaying XP as an average isn't a bad idea either, and I may give that a whirl. I think I'll also start writing out some specific "I really liked your roleplaying of dealing with that shopkeeper" type of notes to the players, or things of that sort. [/QUOTE]
