He would have immediately blamed me for everything. On any normal day I direct my comments to her rather than him because I'm not generally his friend. I've learned over the years that directing comments to him usually ends up with him being angry. That's kind of the point of bowing out of the game. Dealing with him at all causes me constant frustration.He is so negative about everything that he ruins my mood constantly when we play. I'll finish a fun session of Dnd and he'll end it by saying something like "that session was kind of stupid. I can't believe the mod author expected us to go out there and fight that guy one on one when he had a wall full of archers pointed at that guy. Why didn't the archers just fire and kill him? I understand he was holding on to hostages but who cares about the hostages? The leader of the enemies was in their sights. Let all the hostages die. They were dead anyways as soon as they were captured. I understand that one of them was the lords son. He's a lord. He has to make hard decisions. This entire situation is stupid. It's clear what the answer is. But the adventure is going to make one of us sacrifice ourselves to try to save to hostages. I ran up and down the walls yelling at the archers to ignore their stupid commander and fire but all of them were idiots and ignored me. That's stupid. You'd think at least one of them would have the common sense to do the right thing regardless of what their commander says. I'm not even sure I want to play this stupid adventure if this is the kind of thing we need to deal with. The adventure seems to think that saving the hostages is the Good thing to do. It isn't good, it's stupid.  Besides, there a Dragon around. This adventure should be over already with us all dead. But for some reason it didn't kill us. " (Almost word for word his rant after the first session of Hoard of the Dragon Queen)My only response was "I don't know. I had fun and I thought all of that was fine." To which he called me an idiot for liking stupid adventures. That's the kind of thing that happens when I deal directly with him. Plus, after the way he treated me I had no intention of reconciling with him. I just wanted to quit D&D so I didn't have to see him often and maybe save my relationship with her. But she made her choice.</blockquote>
