Why do you reply as if that's what I was saying the player should have done? Yes, you think it's showboating, I get it. You've spammed that 4 times now.  :\ Naw dude, playstyle is an ok word cause it sounds normal. Plus, people don't just post a message just so they can say, "Sounds like you're accusing him of a difference in playstyle". But people waste their time in a heartbeat just to post, "Sounds like you're accusing him of BadWrongFun" just so they can get the chance to use that lame word.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Hey wait a second...I'll be the first one to admit that I am sickening and insulting. You just haven't smelled me lately  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Yeah I've thought of that same thing. I'm fearing that I'll be one of those guys that posts a thread whining about being burned-out and quitting D&D. I love D&D! I just can't seem to find a group that I love playing D&D with. It's really hard to find gamers with a playstyle close to mine. Maybe I should try finding a group where I can be a player for awhile. BTW, I'm not saying that the player is doing anything wrong as far as his playstyle goes. You're right about him thinking he is roleplaying his PC. I may not think it's roleplaying but I can see how someone like him would think so. I just have a hard time DM'ing that type of playstyle. I put the fault on me because I can't accommodate that playstyle and all I do is get people upset when I try to make it fun for myself by nerfing powergamey things.Believe me, I've realized that same thing afterwards. I've actually ran adventures where they surrendered and were imprisoned 2 times before (and they escaped with their loot both times). I didn't even intend on capturing them in this adventure. I figured they could overcome the encounter (even if it meant fleeing). I was just playing in character and decided the BBEG would rather kill this person than deal with him as a slave. But this player does a LOT of metagaming and I agree with you that I will regret my actions from the last game.  :\ Well this thread wasn't supposed to be about powergaming being bad or anything. I'm just wondering what different types of roleplaying might be because I met a lot of people saying they roleplay but when I roleplay with them they don't roleplay back. So I've realized that I must have my own interpretation of what roleplaying is. Also, the player in my group isn't anti-social or a jerk. He's the typical D&D player who has a powergaming playstyle. He doesn't mean to cause problems and he isn't intentionally disruptive. It's just a difference in playstyle that seems to clash only with me since I'm providing him what he wants (hack-n-slashing).</blockquote>
