[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 5239342, member: 151"] I'm glad to hear that the discussion has been a help to you. Honestly, though this may not be the most pleasant interaction you'll have with a person, it will work out for the better. I don't know John, so I wouldn't hazard to guess at his goals or playstyle...but it seems fairly clear that he has a disconnect with you and the rest of your players. He may have the best of intentions or be completely clueless that he's having this affect on the game. But the fact is that not every group of players can be in the same game and have fun. We asked one player to leave our group a few years back. He's still a friend, he still plays D&D...but he found a group that matched his playstyle in a way we simply did not. He had very different desires from the game than the rest of us and that led to friction. But we discussed it, then presented the facts to him....and he was actually kind of relieved. He knew he wasn't the best fit for our group, either. Part of the disconnect was due to my inexperience with D&D as a DM at the time...but at the end of the day, it worked out OK. He found a group more suited to his playstyle and we had a more harmonious game. Everyone got to increase the amount of fun they were having and reduce the drama. I hope you have a similar experience. [/QUOTE]
