[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 2406029, member: 30001"] I see - and I really am sympathetic. Assuming Bob is owed an explanation (and you'll have to decide on that) then maybe try this: To Bob from Gizmo: Bob - one basic concept you seem to be unaware of is that deities are NPCs, and thus their actions are the prerogative of the DM. That means you don't get to tell me how it is that my deity acts - ie. whether or not he grants your spells. Simple as that. I don't tell you not to BBQ your pet lion, you don't tell me how to play my characters. Cool? Now clearly it's not. Look - you're friends with PlayerX and we get along outside the game so I'd like to try to work something out. But I don't want to keep hearing criticisms from you about how I run my games. I'm polite enough not to bust on you for how lame of a roleplayer you are, you can return the favor by keeping your critque of my DMing to yourself. Play your character, I'll play my NPCs, and we'll get along. If you insist on criticizing me for how I run my game, I won't invite you back to play because the noise is bothering me. [/QUOTE]
