In addition, we received a bunch of powerful magic items and a million gold. We all agreed The second time occurred several years later, A former boss invited me to his AD&D campaign.  The characters were high level and modeled after DC and Marvel character. They also traveled between planets. It was not my thing and I didn't return to the AD&D sessions. However, I joined them on evenings when they played Talisman.The third time was a player whom was to the far end of the axis on butt-kicker (he only wanted to kill things), powergamer (played for the accumulation of power), and mini-maxing.  He was brought into the group by one of my players when I had to take a semester hiatus from the group I started.  He was the most whiny player and that led the player (his best friend at the time) to cater to his preferred gaming style while taking over GM chores in my absence.  Upon my return, he went off that my rogue was not maxed out for combat (the GM was running Rolemaster).I found both the player in question and the campaign's focus on combat encounters to the exclusion of everything else to be boring. After two sessions. I told both the GM and my roommate that I would not be continuing or resuming GMing duties (which I was supposed to do after a few sessions).  The GM and i talked and he was relieved that I was disappointed. He was not having fun either, but he didn't want to upset his friend and nobody else had spoken up.  Long story short, he talked to the other players whom were tolerating the game. As a result, he changed the style of the game which led to his friend becoming the problem player as expected and, eventually, getting kicked out when my roommate was DMng and had enough of the player's disruptive antics (which nearly collapsed the campaign).</blockquote>
