[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6644840, member: 5143"] Sorry everyone, I've been busy the last couple of days so I didn't get a chance to post an update. It's not super exciting. I showed up for the slot 0 game on Monday at the guy's house as scheduled. We played. I didn't mention the incident and we all had fun playing D&D. It was kinda awkward for me and I admit, I wasn't able to look the guy directly in the eye the entire game. Luckily, he wasn't DMing and neither was I so it wasn't really required. I made a couple of disparaging comments about his character while in character...but that's normal. If I went a session without doing that, people would worry. After all, his character keeps using the feat that "inspires" people and gives them temporary hitpoints. He roleplays it by saying that his character tells us all how great and awesome he is and we are so inspired that we gain temporary hitpoints. I keep making the joke that the only reason I get temporary hitpoints is because he STOPS talking and after 10 minutes of listening to him brag continuously I'm so happy it ended. They showed up on Tuesday and when we were arranging who would run the 2 tables and who would sit where, his girlfriend originally suggested that I run a game and they've play in it. He was grabbing food so he wasn't around yet. I asked her if she really wanted me running a game for him. She said "Good point, I'll run the table then." That was the only real mention of the issue. I ran a table for some low level people(with neither of them at it) including a friend of mine that I convinced to drop by. It was fun. Nothing weird happened. So far putting up with him seems for the best. I'll try to acknowledge in the future that I should avoid more actively DMing games where he's at my table. Though I don't think I can avoid it forever. I'm still dedicated to running my Champions game once a month with him in it. I'm concerned about that but the next game isn't for a month, so maybe it'll be better by then. [/QUOTE]
