[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3668087, member: 41321"] I hope you give him at least a few sessions before showing him the door, because that would probably be me. I'm a very introverted person, and I find myself closing up when I meet new people, especially when those people have very strong, outgoing personalities. Basically, the louder, more excited, etc the people are I meet, the more intimidated I feel and the more I quiet down. However, when regularly hanging out with people like this I will eventually get to know them, be more comfortable, and will start letting my "real" personality come out. This guy might be the same way. Give him a few sessions to get comfortable with the group. It can't hurt to try and get him involved. Create an NPC that's fascinated with him for some reason and see what he does when this NPC wants to talk to him. If you see signs that this is making him even more uncomfortable then ease off (the NPC will get a vibe that this guy doesn't want to be talked to, and will move on to another party member). In that case, he's probably a "casual gamer" and just enjoys being part of the group. If that's not a type of player you want in your group, then this would be the time you would politely ask him to leave. Give him a chance to shine before you show him the door. Some people just take a while to warm up. [/QUOTE]
