[QUOTE="Phasestar, post: 7289755, member: 6902149"] If that had happened in my campaign, I'm sure the player would have told me and deleted it as soon as they realized what it was. It's really lame that he revealed this mistake to you in-game by changing events based on knowledge he knew he should not have. I don't know what the personal relationships involved are, but I think you should take him aside, find out what he's told everyone else and whether he's shared the document with anyone else. Then clearly explain that while you regret accidentally sharing it with him, that was accidental and it was his decision to read through it without informing you of the issue. That not only disrespects the work you've put into your campaign preparation but it could now ruin everyone's enjoyment of the campaign (especially his). State that you are willing and able to make some adjustments to add some surprises back into the story for him, but that would rely on a promise from him to not share any of the information he already knows with anyone else in the party (assuming that is necessary). If he has either already shared the information or is unwilling to keep things to himself, I would politely ask him to find another game and express disappointment in the breach of trust he has already shown.
