I'm not opposed to piling on in principle though

especially if it's order66

Im still doing the if you ignore the problem it will go away. But he has toned it down a bit since he was banned.

And, who thinks the next episode of BearSwarm is going to cover social skills affecting players? Hands?

Actually, we already covered that back in October: http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-77-social-and-intelligence-mechanics

I know I am late getting to this topic, in addition to mostly lurking here, but a long car trip on Saturday let me finally catch up on my RPPR episodes. Having played and run rpgs for seventeen years now I think Ross made exactly the right call. I've read Aron's blog posts and I think had another player tried the same sort of thing on him he would have been terribly upset over Ross having let said player run roughshod over his character. The only way to handle this sort of situation, barring a game with actual mechanics for it like Burning Wheel, is to role play it out and handle it like adults. Robbing another player of free will is never cool, and I don't allow it at my table.

Yeah, it's totally brushed over and nothing really happens, which is really surprising that he was so upset about it...

I can't say as I have, I've never really gotten in to the Actual Play episodes. That makes Aron seem even more lame, nothing like a tempest in a teapot! It's situations like these when I try to take a deep breath and remember that every man is the hero of his own story. Some folks make it very difficult.
