So I finally had had it and after talking with some of the rest of the group wrote him a polite email saying, essentially, &#8216;go away&#8217;. It proved to be a great thing. We had our core group of Team Cthulhu folk at the table Saturday and it was a really good time. I had forgotten how much fun game night was before the advent The Bad Player.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose the rule is, if there is someone in the game group that is making your fun time a bad time then it is time to ask them to leave. I really don&#8217;t like playing the bad guy but in this case I was willing to take a hit for the team because I knew in the long run things would be better.  And, hey, proof of concept, we had a great time firing cannons at one another on the high seas.<\/p>\n<p>Yar!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last game night we had two fairly massive and halarious back to back Pirates! games.
