[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2721993, member: 22622"] I'm not asking for nor have I ever asked for an exact picture of a character. That's crazy unless the player draws it themself. I"m asking the player to provide me an image of a darkened elf, thats it. To answer the earlier question, I have sent 10 pictures to the player not including the one currently posted. I did something I don't like to do as a DM (im trying to show her that I am willing to work with her) by providing her my DM material on the Dark Elves including more images of how the elfclash authors invision them. They even include pictures of drow to show the differences. I couldn't thump it on her head any more. But Im growing inclined to do what Thirdwizard said, just take my losses. The more I respond trhe more I am actually reading in writing 6 months of just a player whom is difficult to work with. I directed one of my players to hte thread whom responded "you havn't even told them about her nearly getting the party thrown into the pits. . My thing is, I hate kicking people out the game. I had to kick one person out in my 5 years of dming and that was because he was making out with the other player while I was running the game. I am not a dictator and this is not my game its the players, but you're right Thia, it is moer than the picture. Heck, in hindsight it might not be just the picture, but that the picture is the onlything i can control right now. I am also irked that two of my players had to repeat the plot to her 4 times yesterday because she was chatting with her husband during the game. [url]http://www.chrystaria.com/site/modules.php?name=Forums&file=weblog&w=1[/url] Or it could have been that the week before she brought her 9 year old to the game, without telling me at all. I literally walked out of my room and the kid is there at the table. It wasn't a problem but they drive 35 minutes to get to my house someone could have called. Or it could be that I have to talk over her frequently during game when Im reading room descriptions. It could be a lot of reasons and the picture is just the straw that is breaking the camel's back.
