Generally, we are a pretty reasonable group but we do occasionally have 'differences of opinion'. Most of the time they are discussed and sorted out but we have one player who has nearly caused me to shut my laptop up and go home (I was the GM).
We had just had a death in the party, early in the session and I wanted to get the player's replacement character into the action so I had him surveilling the cave the party were heading toward. One player then told me that unless I came up with a good enough reason for them to accept the new character they would kill him and take his kit.
Now, I accept that I had not given much thought as to how to get additional characters into the game (didn't expect one character to fireball the other when he was in a Behir's mouth) but I was just not prepared for the vehemence of the pronouncement and offered to end the game there and then.
The same player gets belligerent and personal whenever a decision goes against him. I have been called 'idiotic', 'stupid' a couple of times (as have other GMs) and been accused of favouritism.
The players keep coming back so I guess I can't be doing much wrong.
