[QUOTE="kimble, post: 5212541, member: 84841"] He needs to do things on his own. Not all the time, but at least once or twice per session. Even when there´s no reason for that. Its like he needs his 'i´m the only protagonist'-time every session. Sometimes that´s not a problem, I can work with that. But sometimes he does something crazy for no reason. Like attacking another PC or NPC just because they disagree about something stupid, and he forgets he´s not playing with the only character that matters. Yeah, did that already. Other GMs too. He goes with the story like there´s no problem with it. Roll eyes, make some jokes and they talk with him too ('come on, it´ll be fun'). I believe the problem is not with my hooks, because I´m not the only GM and we saw that attitude with other GMs. Like another campaign where he had a PC with a bunch of minions, so he could play without the group. Yeah, the problem is that he´s important for the group (we play a lot at his house, most players are more his friends than mine, etc.). And it´s not like he does that all the time, its just sometimes. But those sessions always make me think 'should i keep this campaign?'. I´m starting to consider a new group. [/QUOTE]
