[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 73849, member: 1276"] I am in total agreement with Dr. Midnight. Everyone is saying "it isn't all about the DM" Well people, here is a wake-up call for you. If the DM is not having fun, don't expect him to DM. There is a reason we play. It isn't so that all of you can have a reat time, trying to do whatever you want. It is so that we as a group can have a good time. If I am not having a good time as the DM, I can guarantee you won't either. Not on purpose, but that is just the way. How can I make it enjoyable, if it isn't for me. Now the DM probably has an idea for a game. I have done that lots of times. Some of my best campiagns were when I gave players pre-made characters with histories, and personalaties. The only person to whine was the guy who wanted a drow elf mage, rather than the elven he got. Everyone else looked at it as a great way to try somthing new. Also I think people were so ready to jump on the "bash a dm" bandwagon, dr midnight took it personal as a DM. Me too. If you don't like the way I run my game, no one says you have to play in it. I am not hurting for players. BTW, what got me going was the guy who said start doing suicidal things with you PC. If you are going to do that, why play. That is a super immature way to deal with things. I would kick that player out for good, from that campaign and all of my games. Let him go find a game in the schoolyard where the children play.
