[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 2411429, member: 10177"] If he is your friend then honesty is important, right? If he is your friend he is more important than a game and your not so good friends, right? Tell him what is going on. See what he says and does, letting him know you want to play. He'll be offended by them, but he probably will have no problems with you playing with them. As long as you two still do your friend stuff. If the other guys give you crap about being enough of an adult to be honest and open with a friend, I suggest you go find some adults to be friends with. If they were truly mature they would have invited your friend to play, but sat down and made it clear to him that if he behaved in the bad ways he used to, then he is out, would be the mature thing to do, the real and honest friend thing to do. Real friends accept each others faults, as long as they are legal and don't endanger others, and realize what they can and cannot do together. Its also called maturity. So if everyone is actually a mature adult you will all be able to be open with each others problems, and if you can't help your friend work at his "bad" gaming behaviors, then he and the rest of you should be mature enough to realize he can't play D&D with all of you, but you can have a good time doing everything else together. No hard feelings. Lies and deceit betweeen friends isn't a real friendship. Its a convenient "buddy" to do things with. Honesty and genuine friendship need not apply. [/QUOTE]
