Only have so many slots open. Make sure they fill before the problem player can sign up... even if they're really not full. This is the best way to appear fair at an open gaming location. Even though it is duplicitous, it is better in the long run. @Crystal

I don't know what to do. @ jon, That’s the thing i have tried several times to do that, and he just won’t listen. at the moment I’ve given up on roleplaying because the only place i can role play at is at someones shop, and that is a public place.

Take him aside and explain that he has to understand that the rest of the group wants to have fun as well, if he doesn't understand that, kick him out. @Crystal, I would seriously consider kicking him out of the group.

He has to do everything by the book, no one can give him any kind of attitude, expects everyone to do everything and tries to take all the credit for the adventure. The way that I dm is have one loose idea that the characters can mold into, and see what happens. But he doesn't like thinking for himself. He expects me to mold my story around his character alone, and everyone else is a side character. Another problem with this guy is when we offend him, he has to call his grandma to come pick him up because he doesn't like the language we use. He finds it offensive. But he expects us to be nice to him we he is being insensitive. Do any of you have any ideas that I can do to get him to stop? I have this problem with one of my characters right now.
