[QUOTE="ForceUser, post: 288674, member: 2785"] Among my friends, three of us DM regularly. The other two guys have all kinds of fun playing their bad guys. They cheer when they crit on a player, they laugh when the bad guys get a good shot in, or execute a manuever that we weren't prepared for, etc. Nobody cares; it's all in good fun. We know they aren't really against us. They're just having a ball being the DM. Me, on the other hand, I tend to be more subdued about these things because for some reason when I did them, the players just got mad at me. I dunno why, really, because to me it seems like what I did wasn't any different from what they did. But I'm an expressive person and tend to overdramatize things, so perhaps they took my cheering as actual gloating or something. My players all said that in my last campaign they felt like it was me verses them. This sort of floored me, because I NEVER saw it that way. But whatever, I don't do that stuff anymore. I roll the dice, I be descriptive, and I stay in character when I say evil stuff. You know, so people don't get confused. I'm not bitter. :mad: Anyway, just talk to your friend about it. Try not to be confrontational, no matter how annoyed you may be. [/QUOTE]
