[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9029333, member: 7035894"] So first, I suggest starting from a position of humility - I think everyone who posts here knows how much more work it is to DM a campaign as opposed to playing in one. So I would start with gratitude. Secondly, I wouldn't give feedback unless asked for it, unless it is something that really matters (i.e. it makes you question whether you want to be a player in this campaign, or perhaps it is something that the DM is obviously unaware of but that is easily fixed, like they keep calling "Rafe" "Ralph" by mistake). So, [I]if asked[/I] I would frame my feedback very positively, using kind language. And I would focus on a few specific actionable items that apply to the entire group, not just to me. I would also have the conversation privately, in an affirming atmosphere. I would also check myself very carefully - are these actually DM problems, or are they me problems? Being a DM is often a thankless job, and it is easy to criticize. [/QUOTE]
