[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 4361340, member: 635"] Forthright honesty is definitely the best policy in this situation. Let this [I]potential[/I] player know exactly what you have in mind for the campaign, and do so in a way which acknowledges that you're doing this out of consideration for his expressed gaming preferences. He is [B]not[/B] in a position to alter the style and scope of your campaign unless you let him, but I'm not sure that's his intent. Let me offer you a different perspective on his rather strong remarks and tone. Perhaps this is an individual whose recent gaming experiences have been very disappointing because he consistently finds himself in groups where the style of play doesn't suit his preferences. Instead of joining your group only to be frustrated once again, he is trying to pro-actively explain his ideal scenario. With open feedback from you, he can then determine his appetite for participation...which benefits everyone. Just my two coppers. Of course it's possible he's just a wanker, but don't leap to that conclusion just yet. [/QUOTE]
