Message: <blockquote data-quote="JonnyP71" data-source="post: 6858773" data-attributes="member: 6788862">I played from 1983 to 1994, then started again in 2012 - and have only ever had problems with 2 other individuals - one was when I joined a game in which the DM demanded total control, rolled all the dice, and told the players what characters they were playing in HIS story (I never even saw my character sheet).  I didn't go back to that game.  The other problem however was with a friend at University who was the stereotypical powergamer who forced his style on the group.  He couldn't help it, even when I (as DM) asked him to stop and let others get a chance to shine from time to time.  His style of play was arrogant, controlling and selfish, he complained whenever anyone else attempted something he didn't want them to do, and couldn't understand why the other players hadn't taken advantage of every possible tweak from the 2E splatbooks to make their characters more powerful.That group lasted all of about 10 sessions until the other 3 guys got sick of him, and decided to end the campaign in style by collapsing a building on the whole party, killing all the PCs.  We didn't restart, there was no will to, plus the problem player was the one who owned all the 2E books (my BECMI/1E stuff was in a box at my folks' place 120 miles away).  And that was it for 18 years for me.</blockquote>
