[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 213562, member: 203"] First off definately discuss the problems you are having with the DM. Make sure he/she realizes that you are not putting them down and that you may think this is just a case of D&D burnout. See if they might put together a heavy role-playing session with no or very little combat just to see how it goes. Tell the DM that you just really need a change of pace for a single session. Don't be confrontational - if the DM gets angry or upset reaasure them that you are not 'attacking' them or their game - mention that you actually think the dungeon delving is very well put together but that you need/want a little change next time. If you do get the heavy role play session and that doesn't help bring the fun back I would suggest taking a break from role playig in general. I had to do this about 5 years ago. I was burned out on role playing in general after yet another group fell apart just before the end of the story arc due to player real life friction. I didn't come back until May 2000. Now I can't get enough! My interest and enthusiasm are higher now than ever before. Granted it was a 3 year layoff from role playing but it allowed me to pursue other interests and I wouldn't change a thing about how I handled it. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
