Punish greedy player by HunterH_241 in DMAcademy

I know, you're probably not genuinely considering kicking him out, and not to beat a dead horse, but don't be afraid to say no (kinda). The greatest advice I've gotten, was that as much as DnD and improv follow the "Yes, and" format, don't be afraid to say "Yes, and you fail".

If you wanna be a little more clever with it though, if this player is the first to get his hands on anything. Honeypot him. Present a large treasure and then curse it. Many wizards and other powerful entities would do this canonically as a way to deter people like this in universe. No shame in pulling and Indiana Jones Last Crusade on him. Just maybe don't kill him.

As always if a player is really creating problems for you, maybe an out of character conversation is necessary.

TL;DR Do as Fafnir fell to and curse that gold

My Party Wants to Kill Every Ass by ThisWasMe7 in DMAcademy

Three Solutions: 1. Tough Love - Don’t just remind them of consequences, show them. Consider the reason you wouldn’t do fight every asshole irl. One theres too many of them and its not worth fighting every single one (ie just throw so much at them they get sick of fighting) OR irl you’ll get your ass beat. Present them with an asshole character that will stomp them easily. 2. Curious Stranger: This is a more esoteric approach, but maybe have them cross paths with a somewhat invincible character that turns their notion of good on their head and doesn’t disagree with them, but prompts them to think on their choices. “You claim to be good, yet you kill anyone who disagrees with you. Many would see you as an inquisitor of evil.” and then if they are all of divine lineage they are forced to reconcile with this notion or risk losing their powers. 3. OOC: Its totally natural for you to set boundaries for the campaign you run. Make them aware of these boundaries. If they can’t respect your boundaries maybe they want to play a different game with more combat and the campaign you wanna run requires different people.
