[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2394059, member: 23174"] Oops. I missed your post. Heh. Sounds like the same guy. Also, he owns ALL of the splatbooks and cannot find anything up to his power level. A jaded player wants to beat every creature in any monster manual and knows what all of them are by description. A jaded player does outrageous things "in-character" because the traditional means of expression at an rpg table no longer "excite" him. Such as, outrageous humor/silliness/sarcasm, calling other players' cell phones under the table to disrupt the game, derailing the game to see if the DM can keep up with him, rude outbursts, interplayer conflicts, etc. I think the only way to fix the problem is to get him out of the game. He needs to take a break until the game interests him again. My jaded player's antics were shocking and outrageous. I have a million stories. I kept him for a long time because he once was a good player and he helped me move (and would have helped me move bodies if I asked). He was just destroying the game for me and my players. He had one of my new players emulating him. <shudder> It was frightening! DM [/QUOTE]
