[QUOTE="Baron Von Mandrick, post: 7592362, member: 3269"] As others have said be clear about the expectations before the game starts. I would do it in private so he doesn't feel ganged up by the rest of the players. 1. Just let him know that the expectations for the game are that the party will not steal for each other. He's welcome to create the kind of character he wishes, but he should be able to come up with a character driven reason to not steal from his team. 2. As far as scene hogging, it might be good to mention that since there are 7 people playing there will be a lot of need to share the game and spotlight with the others. This might be mentioned to all of the players before the session as well. 3. Mention that you are bringing this up to him because of experience and that it is necessary to make the game fun for everyone. Let him know if he can follow these rules for everyone's enjoyment he will be welcome and you will look forward to game with him. But that you will understand if he feels that this would kill the fun of the game for the style he wishes to play, you will understand if he bows out of the game. Also mention that because of the demand of handling all 7 players, breaking these agreements will result in not being invited back for this campaign. There may be other information that I'm not aware of, but I would start with that. [/QUOTE]
