I give them a campaign overview, house rule/setting guideline documents. In addition1. Players must follow the campaign setting guidelines on creation (which includes appropriate races, classes, the campaign deities (and their domains, tailored spell lists)) or they don't play2. Players must discuss their concept with me before creating their character3. The player's character concept must be approved and we discuss how the player intends to mechanically represent the character which must be approved.4. Only after the above are completed can the player build the character5. The, mechanically, built character has to be reviewed and approved. No showing up with a character at the last minute. No "I didn't hear that".If a player has a difficulty abiding by the above, they don't play in the game that I am running. As for your  "problem child", he would been given the boot and I would feel no guilt about it.  Just because we are gamers does not mean we should be gaming together (even if we are friends).</blockquote>
