[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5646322, member: 9037"] First of all I need to say this while there have been a couple of rough spots in the game we have been playing together for a long time and it is not always frustrating and we often have a blast. Also the guys are not asshats in real life. They would never go out of their way to ruin anyone else fun. Part of the issue is play style and we are working on that issue. For the other two they have to unlearn years of a certain playstyle and we are putting measures in place to make the game more fun for everyone. We are all trying to find a middle ground. Give them the planning they need without overdoing it but also allow me to do the more off the wall things without endangering the party. The player who got upset is a special case right now. He has some bad things he is overcoming in real life. He lost the woman he was going to marry to cancer then his business because of the economy and he has been reduced to working odd jobs and being a short order cook at Waffle House. The only pleasurable thing he has in his life right now is gaming. He gets over emotional very easily. Sometimes it is hard to deal with but that is what friends do. All of us sometimes find ourselves walking on eggshells around him. But he does acknowledge that we do this and I know how much he values all of our friendships. I often post here looking for advice and sometimes to vent. Neither one of them come here and my DM only comes rarely. I am the first one to say if a game is 99% bad it is better to stop but in a lot of cases issues can be worked out if people are reasonable and really want to. [/QUOTE]
