[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 260189, member: 114"] Good thoughts, KidC. I've not been able to pin down exactly what the issue is which the player is unhappy about. I have a feeling that part of it is that this current campaign is the first time that I've run one with some big, underlying stories which the players are involved in... and I don't think that they have caught his imagination. He's not been able to express to me exactly what he is concerned about though - and apparently can't think of any other archetypes which he would like to play (here I'm frustrated because there are approx 10 different character concepts I'd *love* to play, and I can't imagine how he can't think of any!!) Thinking back, another issue was that although they saved the town of Knightsbridge last autumn, he is frustrated that the town don't rally round the heroes four months later and jump when he was asking for help to look after the refugees who have formed a shanty town outside the walls... Personally I thought this was a reasonable touch of reality, having seen what happens to refugees myself :( and the way that political leaders can have short memories - plus it is all part of the growing tension about what is happening back in Singh, which was his homeland (along with the late, lamented Azrin). An amnesty day might work - he took a level of sorcerer some 4 levels ago which really hasn't worked well for him. One of the underlying story issues is problems with the priesthood back home... maybe Asura the god needs a *special envoy/emissary* to start to sort things out? From reading PC's storyhour I recall that you have been allowed some quite wide-ranging amnesty-days (recalling Tao certainly, and perhaps Nolin too). What particular Pros and Cons are there, and how far do you normally suggest DM's go? I don't want to alienate the other players (who are all loving the current campaign direction).
