[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 455055, member: 5100"] Agreed. Just talk to him. The running joke in my circle of friends is that I'm a vampire (there's a mage, a druid, and a werewolf, too). This has been going on for ten years and we never think about it any more (although the jokes persist). We didn't realize how it might be perceived until one of the guys started dating a gal who admitted to be a bit weirded out because we never "break character". Now, we're all pretty normal and most people at our jobs, whatever, don't even know we game. We just slip into jokes about vampires, etc. when we hang out, just like a lot of people slip into "critical hit" jokes. Anyway, point being, he may be kidding around and not realize everone else isn't in on the joke. Or he might be a bit nuts. If it's the former, everything is cool if you just ask him and nothing gets blown out of proportion. If it's the latter, someone from the gaming group had best be the one to make an issue out of it. If his someone else does so first, it'll be like a Jack Chick comic come to life. And I _really_ don't want to have that happen (might have to exsanguinate somebody). [/QUOTE]
