[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 211221, member: 2785"] Ahh, there's the rub. Long drive. His house. That sucks man. I'd consider the possibility of relocating your game and kicking him out of the group. If neither of those things are options for you, honestly, my best advice is to stop DMing that group. Let's break it down. You want everyone to have fun, but you need to have fun too. It's important that the DM, of all people, have fun. Otherwise, what's the point of putting all that work into the game if a player's just going to urinate on it week after week? If your buddy is not having fun, suggest that maybe your game isn't what he's looking for. Tell him that it's no big deal if he wants to quit the group; you'll understand. Then pack the rest of your group the hell up, relocate, and get your game on somewhere else. You could also try playing other games with him. Instead of D&D, maybe he'd enjoy some Chainmail or Warhammer 40K. I'd like to say he sounds like a wargamer, but the truth is he just sounds like a jerk.
