[QUOTE="MINI, post: 4357419, member: 49525"] Being assertive about your game is good advice. It is true if you take on a problem player its going to make more problems than if you simply turn him away, however this guy could be a great addition to your group, you simply don't know yet. You should remain in control of all things with organizing the game such as the character creation process, the setting and meeting places. Be assertively clear about these things and politely let him know who is in charge if needed. Beyond that I would run a solo session for each player as to how their character gets to the starting point of the game. This should give you a sample of his RP style as well as everyone else's. After this first session you can decide who will be good in teh group and who will not. If each player witnesses the others solos you coudl even let them help decide, but this last part could get ugly and you may want to opt out on it. [/QUOTE]
