[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8306053, member: 3400"] One of the worst problem players I ever encountered was basically a saboteur. You couldn't run a game with him in it have have him play it straight. He usually had to have some kind of oddball, anti-social character that couldn't be relied on to do anything normal or particularly productive. There might be brief times when he kept things under control, but they never lasted very long. We mostly kept him around because we played in a conference room where he worked and he had an arrangement from a local pizza place to get the pizzas at half price. In D&D - he played a cannibal dwarf who liked to set fires. His last appearance was when he jumped out in front of a carriage only to get run over (he survived), only to climb up the back, and shoot the mayor's wife in the chest with his crossbow. He then ran off and set fire to an orphanage. The DM for that campaign kept a bottle of acetaminophen close at hand for the headaches he would cause. In Villains and Vigilantes - he dropped by in the middle of a campaign while the PC heroes were meeting at the local FBI offices. His character, who had the power of invisibility, chose to lurk in the women's locker room. Fortunately, he moved away ages ago, but we tolerated way too much for half price pizza and a conference table. [/QUOTE]
