I don't know enough about the 4e power library to tell if this was an inherent issue with the concept or his power selection, but that sounds very poor. Well, that's just being a dick.

Personally, I like Adamant's Narrative Combat for mass combat and large scale battles.

As presented by the OP, no. I was specifically responding to Shaman's example. It's not that there's nothing outside the module path, it's that there's a presumtion that while there's sub-plots and side-quests to pursue, by agreeing to play in a AP style module you're agreeing to follow the...

It should be remembered that at it's heart a fraternity, sorority, corporation, nation, etc is primarily a mutual aid society. One of the main reasons the first ones in the US came about was so students could afford to eat and buy books.

If they agreed to play the adventure path, which I stated as a premise from the beginning, jerk is putting it mildly. With the singular premise that the players agreed to play in a AP-style module, which I maintained since the beginning, I still don't see a difference between refusing to do...

Then why are you arguing? From the very beginning I specified that the players agreed to play the module. *sigh* From the beginning the entire premise of this discussion is that the players agreed to to play in an adventure style module (because otherwise the GM got we he deserved for not...

It's breaking the game because they agreed to play an Adventure Path style module, then not only refused to follow the initial setup, but then turned that setup upside down and lit it on fire. They agreed to play an AP, then decided to play in a sandbox. It's a dick move. It's showing up at a...

Eye of the beholder then. Check. Well I figured that. That wasn't the point. When someone (or multiple someones at the table decides to pursue a play style other then what everyone agreed on, it's disruptive at best, and game breaking at worst. Granted a table's play style can and likely will...

Really? Looks exactly the same here. Players sit down to play the game, GM gives them the hook, and they proceed to ignore the elements presented and that the GM was prepared to run (the module) to go become bandit kings. If your GM tells you he's running a prepublished adventure, you agree to...

How is this different the what the OP calls breakers. The GM sat down at the table with a module. I'm going to assume he told the players he was running a prepared adventure. The players then go and not just actively ignore the plot hook, but decide to actively destroy the setting and premise...

Already covered that. Killing the PCs isn't the GMs job in Paranoia. It's getting the PCs to kill each other.

I'd say it somewhat depends on the system and setting. In my current system of choice the PCs are by definition exceptional. Their average stat is a 13 rather then a 10 and they're Special Characters with their own Action Dice pools.

The user of the technology (and QWERTY is a standard, not a technology) here is not the reader. It's the layout editor.

No, there hasn't been a meaningful physical barrier to abandoning QWERTY since, oh, the IBM Selectric typewriter and it's imitators replaced swing arm hammers with balls, daisy wheels, dot matrixes, etc. Doubly so since computers replaced typewriters. If you want to use another keyboard...

So was continuing to use the QWERTY keyboard layout after the demise of upswing printarm typewriters. Yet everyone still uses it.

Megan and Jennifer would be fine in Wales and Cornwall, respectively. Buddy is the only one that seems anachronistic to me for a medieval English setting.

I always stop to think about things before making a moderate or large change. It's not that I think that the designers are smarter or better then me. Rather, I think they typically have a better grasp of why that particular rule or system is the way it is then I do.

The players aren’t your enemies. They’re your entertainment.

I'm playing in a 3.5 and a homebrew system cyberpunk game. I'm running a Spycraft 2.0 SG-1 game, an Eclipse Phase game, and a Fantasy Craft Rise of the Rune Lords game.

The One Ring, or some other highly (un)desirable MacGuffin.
