[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6710046, member: 5143"] Well, I don't have to deal with him anymore. But I don't know what I could have done differently. Every time he's blown up it's been when I was saying something that I didn't, even for a second, think would cause any problems. One time I said "There's no more information you can find about this mystery right now, maybe you'll find more information later" and he blew up. Another time I said "The bandits look up at your hiding location and...*rolls* see you, even with disadvantage. I rolled well." and he blew up. The 3rd time was a little more dicey. The subject of alignment is always a little bit of a touchy one, but I really took it as a productive discussion on why he hated Adventurer's League authors and particularly that adventure so much. I wanted to know why he had such a huge issue with the entire premise of the adventure. Particularly one that everyone else seemed to have no problem with. I had no idea it would lead in the direction it did with him deciding that you'd have to be evil to want to depose a tyrant from the throne and getting rather angry at me when I said it was good, not evil. As I said, that one I could have been a little more tactful about but I honestly thought he was arguing in good faith and although heated was still a rational discussion until he blew up that time, too. It should be noted that we've had similar discussions that got a little heated by didn't end with him storming out of the room and slamming the door and telling me to leave his house before. So, I wasn't sure if this was one of the times we'd end the conversation or he'd blow up and leave. [/QUOTE]
