My greatest worry is that he won't be open to feedback. He was always bullheaded and always trying to lock horns with me back when he first picked up the 3.5 rule books and joined into my campaign (I was playing, but quickly became the DM after a player-coup). I do feel mildly responsible, since I know he's trying to emulate my style, and may be trying too hard to 'one up' his own experiences for his audience.</blockquote>
