I notice each of them is fairly different. #1 Seems like a totally unintentional flub and the guy didn't take it well.  We all do that to one degree or another. I remember a second date I had with a girl...we were renting a movie. She suggested Glitter starring Mariah Carey, and I could only assume she was joking, so I laughed...No third date. #2 The guy playing a dramatic bard. Sometimes people get out of control in annoying ways in game.  I've noticed it tends to go more poorly trying to correct habits in game rather than a conversation out of game. If you'd have said "Dude, try to mix up your schtick" things might have worked out better. But I, too, am guilty of in game "correction". I had a player in a game I was DMing who considered himself a suave swashbuckler who got all the ladies (fine by me). But he totally lost sight of the roleplaying aspect and got kinda creepy with the "I'm having the sex with the imaginary ladies". So, as DM, I gave him VD from sleeping with a succubus that made him impotent. I tried to encourage him to play up the supposed reason he wanted to play the character "being cool and having ladies swoon over him" but he said I ruined his character (I even tried to teach him a bit of a social lesson that the cool dude admired by all the ladies doesn't have to actually "get some" and could leave them wanting for more). #3 This just sounds like a player issue. You DMed appropriately and he was a bad player, asking for too much and having an appropriate, self chosen, death . This isn't so much driving him away him not wanting to play by the rules and deciding to leave.</blockquote>
