[QUOTE="Graf, post: 2845572, member: 3087"] I’m generally of the not-worth-the-hassle-just-drop-him/her school of thought. Having said that I (somewhat miraculously) don’t see the problem with this player from your post above. Mis-communications happen, and some (otherwise very smart) people don’t read email regularly so in and of itself 2 isn’t an issue. He has another game, you may feel some competition with him because of it but evidence to the contrary aside it doesn’t sound like it –had- to be purposeful. DnD involves people who can make different levels of commitment to the game. Your “recap method” and “blue booking” both sound fun but I could easily see people not having time to do it. It sounds like you feel these should be “mandatory” but you won’t come out and say it, so long as you keep describing it as “optional” you won’t be able to really come down on him for not participating. You can set the bar for participation in your games where you like it the most, but setting the bar as high as it sounds like you want to could make it tough for you to find new players. [/QUOTE]
