And good luck toughing it out. You know it's a bad situation when you're prefacing everything with "He's a really nice guy but...." or "He has some really fun NPCs...." But here's the thing. The game isn't about making an effective character and using great tactics to win the day. There's already been a bunch of wierd little things that just seem to set you up so that you can't really count on the rules too high. Especially the house-ruled chip system. The mean part of me wants you to ask and see if you can't get a detailed description of how that works, but that's really just kind of fighting the point. The chip system is more a way for the DM to feel like he has a setup for imposing cool things on the normally static situation. So, if the game isn't about using the rules, what is the game about? The game is about expierencing all the cool things that the DM has set up for you. Literally, that's what you can do. He's the gatekeeper for all the cool stuff, and his cool stuff is the point of the game. It's something I've done, and I've been through a bunch. I think it's pretty normal (ie: not some strange occurance that rarely happens). Now, what you're really going to have to do to enjoy this game is understand how it goes and look for the fun parts in that. Get it into your skull that this is how it will work, and look for the ways to enjoy it while playing along in the cool elements that your DM has put together. Does that suck? Oh yeah, especially given your earlier complaints. It definately isn't the game that you'd be playing, if you got to choose. Unfortunately, the best you're going to be able to do is dig up what enjoyment you can, where you can. That, and maybe DM a game later and totally spoil your wife. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Do me a favor? Can you list out 4 or 5 things that you really enjoyed about the game?</blockquote>
