Powergamers <shudder> the bane of any good roleplaying storytelling. They 
always want to cut to the chase. Kill. Loot. Move on to the next safe point.

UA is freaky enough so that powergamers are still at a lost if they think 
they can amount firepower and other stuff. You set a few scenes that should 
be normalized and then whammo! you hit them with something like "Fly To 
Heaven".

I had modified it to be an adventure with the characters, when they had to 
get on the plane and their was no way in hell that they where going to 
bringing any weapons onboard. It was maddening for two of the PC's who 
loaded up on weapons a scenario before. I realise that powergamers really 
hate to lose stuff.

One character was detained while trying to smuggle an item onboard. Though 
it's just a modern game, you can add in the modern nuiances.

Easy come. Easy go. I say.
