[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 152059, member: 232"] I was running a game for my roommate and some friends every Friday night. It's a weekly game. In game my roommate's character found The Book of Ascension. It's a major Artifact that gives precise instruction on how to become a diety. The book is very intelligent and will only allow certain people to even read it. Each page is a step towards godhood and there area few thousand pages. My roommates character did not want to become a good or even want the book. But he didn't trust anyone else with the book (the bad guy wanted it and there was no place safer for the book then with the PCs). Well, the book choose his character to become a god and his character refused to read the book. For about 4 sesions I had the book appear in place of other books he was reading, it would tyalk to him, basically anything I could think of to get him to read it. He would draw his sword and find himself holding the book instead. But in game he kept resisting, he did a good job of role playing it. So, I decide to increase the presure. Sunday afternoon we are sitting watching a movie. I look over at him and say "read Me". He looks at me really wioerd. So, I repeat it. I was playing the part of the book, even though we weren't gaming. To show him the pressure the book put on his chatacter i did this sort of thing for a week straight. I called him at work and after he picked up the phone I'd just say "read Me." and hang up. I did get him to start reading the book, though. I don't know if that's a strange thing or just proving how strange I am. I was only able to do that because we are good friuends and I knew it wouldn't get to him personally. :D [/QUOTE]
