Are there particular scenarios where he starts balking? Or is it just a matter of how he's feeling that day? It's possible you can come up with a way to avoid whatever sets him off.Failing that, you can always enlist the other players and fall back on the old standard, which is, "<a href="http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1144" target="_blank">Okay, the other PCs go on the adventure. You stay in town. Nothing happens. It's very boring.</a>" If he demands you pay attention to him and the wacky things he's doing in town, simply explain that you're running an adventure for the other PCs, and resolve whatever he does with a handwave.In the end, you may have to simply decide whether the occasional hassle is worth whatever good things he brings to the gaming table. If so, live with it. If not, give him the boot.[Edited to add: What do the other players do when this guy refuses to bite on your hooks? Do they try to talk him into getting with the program, or do they follow his lead? If the latter, you may want to consider that the problem lies with your hooks and not with the player.]</blockquote>
