RPPR Episode 30: Min-Max Pain

The worst pain you can feel when running a game comes from min/maxing players, the jerks who love nothing more to make unstoppable killing machines that defy the laws of man, god, common sense, physics and the damn game itself. So, how do you deal with these min/maxers? We provide a few ways to dish out the pain or rather ways to sensibly negotiate and make reasonable compromises with the player…in hell.Tom has a slightly less disturbing letter this time and of course the New World ransom is still underway! Please contribute. There’s only 10 days left. The New World 4E D&D Campaign Primer Ransom Shout outs: Gun Show: A new daily comic by KC Green Xombie: An animated zombie action horror DVD The Objective: Horror movie about special forces in Afghanistan investigating a mysterious region. Great fodder for modern horror rpgs. Bad For You: A George Carlin comedy special Van Richten’s Guide to the Lich: Great Ravenloft supplement describing the lich. Useful for any edition of D&D as it is mostly flavor text. Found Footage Festival: Hilarious and insane compilations of public access shows, commercials, exercise videos and more.
