[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1923862, member: 158"] Are you looking for arguments from us that you can use on your players to help you convince them to go back towards baseline? The best argument is made by you, since you know them and you know that their style is, and what will work on them for convincing. It could be that this is just the play style they want, after having tried it lower power. The best convincing is to get them to try it the other way in a single one-shot or a "limited series" of one shots, and see what they think. Try to make the one-shots appealing as possible, and see if they realize that it can be fun to struggle a little now and again. Ask them for a compromise - maybe someone else runs the high-powered game, and you get to run a lower-powered game once or twice a month. Maybe there's another d20 game (like mutants and masterminds) that can fit the play style they want better. If they just want big bangs and fun, then there's little you can do, other than find another group or grin and bear it. But if it's no fun for you to run the session anymore, you shouldn't have to.
