I hate my group. I HATE my group. Hate them. I've complained about them before. But this, is, frankly, the last straw.
The campaign that I'm playing in is almost at an end. I offered to DM a game afterward in a homebrew campaign of mine. After several dropouts and a lot of reluctance, I've managed to scrounge up four people out of about 10 to be the players. I sent them an e-mail describing character creation guidelines and the rules for playing. At the end, I told them that we would set up an anti-table talk system akin to Piratecat's.
Well, they totally lost their with that one. Thought I was charging them to have fun. I said it wasn't like they were going to be paying me to DM for them, because if I slipped up, I would pay, too. They said to dock XP because XP isn't real. I told them that I would be putting in real time for them, and I expect some consideration. They said that would be fun for me if they had fun. It wouldn't be fun for me if I put hours into prepping for a session and they sit around and chat the whole time.
I am a nanometer away from calling off the whole thing entirely. Guilt Puppy, I emailed you weeks ago and I never got a reply. Please, please reply. I'm really a very reasonable person.
