[QUOTE="Shadowslayer, post: 2887733, member: 8400"] I dunno. I'm reading the initial post and it looks more to me like the issue is a power struggle. Which to me is bogus. "Respect your rules"? This is a group thing, where its already been established by the other players that they're willing to go along with aftermarket stuff. It was written that the other players were "pretty good about it" Does this mean that they welcomed the core-only bit with open arms, or that they just didn't gripe out loud about it? It just looks to me like the "offending" player just didn't appreciate the change-up that came with switching DMs. Sure it could have been handled better, (but on the other hand, contraqry to what some posters have said, I've seen nothing here that suggests he threw a tantrum) And in the end, it worked out. quote "and it ended up being a lot of fun. His character played a key role in the game that day, and it was a lot of fun for the whole group." unquote. So what's the problem? The only regret I'm seeing here is that the OP wonders if he should have caved. He sees this as an authority/respect thing...and I'm telling you "its just games" Leave the ego at the door. After all, you're playing over at this guy's place, he's part of your established group, and I'd say he's quite justified in feeling that this is his game as much as anyone else's. [/QUOTE]
