Hey Derek,

How about fixing a munchkin GM, any tips for that? And yes this is a serious
request.

yup, I've got a cure for that, a few of em actually, #1 is quit his
group, #2 being quit caring about your characters, jus keep a stack of
cookie cutter characters on hand and start doing the stupidest things
you can think of that you know will get them killed (had this done to me
before I realized I was going a lil on the munchkin side while trying to
get the munchkin out of a certain player's system), #3 sit down and talk
to him if that don't work, wall to wall counseling should, #4 Logic,
Pure and simple logic, if you can't beat him by using his ways, attack
his actions, how can a human carry that much ammo, how could they fire
that big of a gun without a gyro mount, how could they afford to get
that type of equipment, HOWEVER do NOT attack him in this manner AT THE
GAME, do it away from game night, if everyone is in agreement then
appoint ONE person to speak to him and give that ONE PERSON a note
signed by the entire group indicating that the ONE PERSON speaks for
them all and their feelings are all similar, but make it the person
that's got the balls to tell him like it is and not start to tell him
and then back down when he starts to get mad/whiney. And finally #5 You
start GMing, plain and simple, that's the best way, YOU GM and make it a
roleplaying game instead of a ROLL PLAYING game.
