[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1721934, member: 22103"] So true. I'm in two groups right now. One is very high-level (15-16th level), high-power with emphasis on combat. The other is 1st level with a couple of n00bs. Some also still play 2ed which I find VERY frustrating because they are trying to relate 3ed rules to 2ed. I'm also on the fence about trying to explain the rules to them in-game versus keeping the pace moving. I just have a hard time "allowing" incorrect rulings. Anyway, in both cases, all the players are very into D&D and aren't really interested in other games. Some of the players are weekend warriors/D&D'er. Some are rookies who are enthralled by D&D. Talking about games like Mutants & Masterminds and Shadowrun falls on deaf ears. So I'm really torn. The high-level campaign has been going strong for 2+ years. My cousin and best friend (who I first played D&D with) is the other group after being away from gaming for many years. It really pains me to say it but I find myself becoming bored [I]while I'm at the gaming table[/I]. I have such a "been there, done that" attitude right now and it kind of makes me nervous. I SO want to get away from D&D but I feel like I'll be letting a lot of people down. I concerned that some of my friends wouldn't be really happy with me. Anyway, I'm glad to see Shadowrun and M&M getting a lot of love in here. If only I lived closer to some of my fellow EN World'ers!! Great thread so far guys. I think I realize I'm not alone. :\ [/QUOTE]
