[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 3695699, member: 30709"] Because it's the first option on the listr and people who aren't paying attention to them will leave it as that? OP: I'm going to join the long list of people telling you to kick him out. A rules disagreement at the table is one thing: and I don't begrudge people not picking up copies of the core rules themselves. (Especially when things like d20srd mean you can read most of what a player needs online) BUt someone who, when running a campaign, basically refuses to learn the rules because he's got an older, [i]totally different ruleset[/i] book at home? That's like saying you know the rules to Poker, so you won't bother looking up the rules of Bridge and just play anyway. Even if I don't think you behaved the right way ion leaving the session, if this guy can get you to that level of anger with this, he's an enormous problem: keeping him is only gonna ruin the game for everyone. I would probably speak to him and tell him that it's obviously not working out: I wouldn't use too loaded words like "childish" or "lazy", but I wouldn't really debate it either. Part of being a GM, sucky though it is, is being the final arbiter of teh session - you gotta be the one to hav the stones to say, "You ain't joining us no more". [/QUOTE]
