[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 4537803, member: 3192"] Thanks for clearing that up. I would absolutely approach the player as a group then and tell him his usual favorite kind of play isn't going to fly in the new game. That everyone else is on board for a frightening horror game and lighthearted wackiness isn't anything anyone else wants. That he's welcome to join in, but if he starts screwing around, expect to be consensually removed from the game. Our group has a "Carebear" rule that is like this. One could be a Carebear, but things that are really wacky get a yea/nay from the group beforehand. I assume you don't want Carebear PCs in your new campaign either? I personally prefer limiting options after the Players have them dreamed up. The thing of it is, this Player doesn't sound like he has a concept problem. Instead it sounds like the rest of you don't appreciate how this player plays games when the focus changes away from silliness. Tell him that's not in this game. That he can keep the concept and change his gameplay or just sit this one out. I'd suggest the same thing to a player who only enjoyed PvP joining a group where no one else desired it. [/QUOTE]
