To make this brief and the reading easier:
-I was raised w/2nd ed., playing what I think is 3rd on the computer
-I was taught never use pen on the record sheet
-I've studied my DM (my dad) and his manuals
-I don't have any manuals of my own, I use his
-Thurs. I found one of my friends likes/wants to play (during Study Hall)
-He's only played once(a learning session for 3rd ed)
-I'm DM-ing--never done it before, but as I said before.....
-I want to learn 3rd and am moving towards getting some dice & manuals
-So far, it's just him in the party, we're looking for more people
-We printed char/rec sheets from the internet and found a dice generator
-I have no problem w/him filling out his looks, class, alignment, etc
-I do have a problem w/him filling out his stats so quickly. He's a human fighter
-He wrote that stuff in pen
-He wrote down rapier as his starting weapon (I didn't like that)
-I like to roll for the money you have @ the beginning of the game
-I only like to give out the essentials (clothes, boots, pack) first
-and the starting money buys armor, weapons, misc equip
-also, this gives the char a chance to do work around town for XP and money (IMO, it's more fun this way)
-He refuses to abide, I've tried explaining. He doesn't understand that there is no party, campaign or manuals...If others join, will they think its fair? (I wouldn't, cuz there wasn't a guide to say whether or not he could have that weapon or those skills or stats or whatever)
-We've decided on playing 2nd ed, but I still think it'd be fun to learn 3rd
***Mainly, because he's so stubborn, I don't really feel like playing anymore...
What do I do?
!!!SORRY ITS NOT AS BRIEF AS I HOPED!!!
