I love group battles... the first couple of posts. Then it drags on and on... Would like to streamline it... but how? Chat rooms, etc? Anybody in the room...

Ooops, I didn't think anyone would reply so fast I missed the post. Thanks :) ... I haven't done that before, it might be an interesting idea. What I have in...
This is to all my fellow gamemasters on the list, I was wondering if anybody out there had a cure for Munchkin-itis in a player? I have a player who always...

The only good thing to be said about munchkins is they do show you where any 'loopholes' are in your rules so you can tighten them. I've had to deal with more...
There is sugestion number 1, find yourself another Munchkin and hope they keep each other busy. This can probably be accomplished by making the new Munchkin...
I wasn't speaking of rules-lawyering.. I meant powergaming. Where they just want more and more and more and more power no matter how powerful they become,...

I better re-state the problem. I don't think I was clear what is wrong. I got some replies back, and thank you, but they didn't address what my problem is....

I did catch what you meant, but with the munchkins I've dealt with, they'll snark about 'but it doesn't say I can't in the rules', and once you do put in a ...
It's not that kind of game. The rules aren't like that, and the players don't have that kind of access to the rules. there are no clauses anywhere that say a...

God, I wish I still had some of the emails to share of what I've gone through... My rules started out with the basic common sense things we all know like ...
Bottom line is this. The DM can change or alter rules as long as they are consistent. If you have someone playing that is a problem, do not play with them. If...
It's a little different with 'literary' gaming, and concidering I'd tabletopped for as long as you have before dipping my beak into the online gaming, I had to...
I agree, VW. I also don't do the whole "I am god" thing. I consider that sort of heavy-handed GMing to be rather primitive. I've been at it 20 years or more,...

Attempt 2 at an answer to address the problem. I'm taking this to be a kind of super hero game, so I'm going with that vernacular, but I think my ideas should...
I get the feeling that this player is someone who "legally" (for lack of a better word) achieved his mega-powerful status in your game; he's worked at it for...
Ta, no it's a modern-horror (monsters) game, nevertheless, these are helpful suggestions. -I2D ... Werewolves - scary on the outside, sweet on the inside...

Ah, okay. I ran a modern horror game as well, but ended up having to put it on hiatus for the time being because my players started to bicker offlist and ...
Interesting that you say that! One of the oddest things about the game is the way players seem to be hostile to one another. (They like very much to get into...

It started with a disagreement over the portrayal of a canon character. The guy who was playing Ash from the Evil Dead films was going with how the character...
With my players, they are usually just fine.. However, when they get into the same scene they seem to be just RUSHING to get away from each other. They...

The Angst Diva's like that too. They gripe that anytime they're doing 'character development vital to thier character' no one lets them. I've been avoiding...
