[QUOTE="Greg Benage, post: 6638948, member: 93631"] Sounds like an awful situation. Here are a couple suggestions for what [I]you[/I] can do, not because I'm suggesting you're at fault, but because that's what you can control. 1. It sounds like there are some trust issues. If you aren't already, roll all your dice in the open if/when you DM for that player. Based on your description, he sounds like a player who thinks the DM is cheating and possibly targeting him. 2. In a public game, you're not always going to get players that perfectly fit your preferred campaign style. You may prefer a more "simulationist" game with a high degree of verisimilitude, but if your players are all pretty gonzo, you might consider going with the flow. You might find that a gonzo game that's fun for everyone is preferable to a simulationist game that makes the gonzo players angry. 3. Try not to obsess over perceived slights, whether in your hobbies or any other part of your life. You're not married to this guy, thank the gods. Your life isn't going to significantly improve if this guy apologizes to you (though his might...sounds like he has some work to do). Obsess over more important things, like DPR. Hope this helps, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
