Message: <blockquote data-quote="Summer-Knight925" data-source="post: 5680733" data-attributes="member: 80297">I have run games for him before, it's how he power games.It's not normal power gaming, if he doesn't get his way (by breaking rules) he either yells at me or simply punishes me. Don't get me wrong, he's a good father, he introduced me to gaming, isn't that enough? but he is prone to temper tantrums. And no, he isn't immature, he has Multiple Sclerosis so his moods are effected.But it's like...we go on adventures and go up multiple levels (like...you know, 1st to 5th in one adventure) and only really go to just level up and get magic. He has no other drive to go on adventures than to gain power. That and...something I really do hate...is character hopping (if I'm using this term right) where you have multiple characters to choose from and you put them in whatever group for whatever reason just because. The character's don't know each other (Okay, so "they met in a tavern" might be good for you, but not for me) and there is NO role playing, whenever I try this it usually ends with someone yelling. "you're playing a paladin, you can't just attack a caravan of drow WHO YOU DON'T DETECT EVIL ON because they're drow, it's against being a paladin"'no! drow are evil!'"not these ones, as you can tell from your detect evil ability"'I don't care, roll for initiative'"you'll lose paladin levels"'for what?'^^that usually happens all the time, there is NO role playing at our table, and it sucks.I enjoy role playing and adventures with meaning and the story telling aspect.he likes killing things and increasing numbersit just doesn't go well together.And I really don't know of any other people my age who play, the best I could do is the game store across town that 'charges' $5 to play (but you can use that $5 to buy snacks and stuff there so it's all good) but that would mean borrowing money....since I don't have a job. And getting a ride there...since I don't have a car. It really comes down to something that could be a new thread.Is power gaming good?</blockquote>
