[QUOTE="ellestar, post: 1658901, member: 6657"] Thanks for the advice. I am especially fond of the notion that what the player has written down is merely what his character percieves things as. Lots of untapped plot hook potential suddenly reared its head. The note might not be quite as different after all. I mentioned that the adventure got off to a slow start, and this was in part cause of the players wishes to go to Celene and go through all the motions with most of his family and contacts there. This really achieved nothing (of course, the possibility that the player thinks this is fun is always there, looks like he enjoyed it, so it's not all bad, not at all..), except take the spotlight for a good 30-40 minutes. All the spotlight. The other players were sitting in darkness (3.0 darkness, not the pansy 3.5 version, mind you), merely observing this stuck up elf their characters are travelling with sucking up to and being sucked up to by half of Celene. I will work on/with the situation. I guess I have no other choice than to be thankful that he actually has a decent background story, and just suck it up. More ideas are of course welcome. [/QUOTE]
