Are powergamers a problem and do you allow them to play in your games?

[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 7326063, member: 57914"] Powergamers are indeed allowed in my game and I have NEVER once had a issue with them in the 40+ years I have been playing. Hhahaha I started playing in the mid 70's. I was 8 years old when the older kids got us to play so they could have some warm bodies to hold stuff and act as trap detectors! I have had plenty issues with Disruptive players, I conceder disruptive players any player who argues even after the DM has given a verdict. Players that do not engage with the game and instead want to crosstalk the night away or text the entire time on their cell phones. Loads of other things can be disruptive but those are the main ones. As far as players with issues I had had plenty. Murder Hobo's and attention hoggers and Drama Seekers. Players who viewed the game like a video game and players who wanted to lift themselves up by putting others down. I will work with just about anyone to have a good game. Sometimes it just takes some time and effort and as long as the player stays above a certain point I will work endlessly with them to become better. In game or out of game abuse of myself or other players and my person pet peeve, cheating are about the only two things I will kick a player for. Some of my BEST players started off some of the worst! Murder Hobo's who never once cared for a npc(NPC's GOT NO SOULS!) and sought to attack everything that moved or had loot eventually after years of work and effort and gaming turned into great well rounded players. I have played with deep role players and power gamers and everything in between. At one time or another I have probably been everything in between! The game evolves, players evolve and the fun keeps rolling on. so yeah as long as you can behave yourself and not outright abuse anyone else and for gods sake don't cheat! Then you are welcome at my table for some fun! [/QUOTE]
