Out. "I warned you.".You might not be saying that, but if you are, I think that's a bit harsh, that's all. The conversation was about a player who reads the MM and the DMG. To me, that's not a major sin, even if the player does pick up a little knowledge here or there. I suspect that a good majority of people here have read a lot in various DMGs and MMs, and I'd rather have a player join who is heavily into the game enough to read the DMG and MM instead of a player who just casually shows up and doesn't take much interest in the game.In our group, we have a variety of players. Some like to roleplay more, some like combat more, at least one likes puzzle/problem solving. We balance it out without drawing a heavy line in the sand. Each PC gets their chance to shine, each player gets chances to do what they like.I do agree that problem players can be disruptive, but I like to give people a few chances first.</blockquote>
