comment How do I make my overpowered character more fun to play
And at the end of the day, that's what it's all about - zombie Nazis with comically large helmets, blundering around the landscape until the PCs show up...

comment Out-Of-Control Characters
If the player is the problem, don't try to fix it through their character. That comes across as heavy-handed and cruel. Talk to them about how they're playing, and how you thought they were going to play. If it's just the character, same advice. I find this is easier to fix outside the game, when you can easily talk about what everyone wants and expects. Doing it in-game can turn it into a PC-vs-DM contest, and it sounds like you don't want that.

True, although my actual question specifies play experience. I've edited it to clarify. Thanks!

(Also, I'm not looking for adventure suggestions, much as I appreciate the sentiment - I want actual play experience.)

If you've run this (or something like this), can you elaborate on how it played out? I'm trying to get a feel for the system.
