[QUOTE="Mahiro Satsu, post: 310870, member: 4970"] I was suffering from burnout too. I had a great group of my clsest friends to play with, some of them loved to play, and we had fun. But i was the DM. We were playing the Wheel of Time rpg and because i am a dork and have read each book in the series about 5 times, they made me DM. I used to DM D&D 2nd ed all the time. It was how i started. I dont like DMing. Some people tell me that I am good at it, but ultimatelty i feel confined by it. I was following the rules to the T. it was the only way I could see to keep the game fair. I am too rule bound to have fun while DMing. I started to hate rpgs. Then i started playing with a different group. They were older than me, and i was a little uncomfortable the first game i played with them. Hell, one of the players was a proffesor of mine. I had fun. changing groups and my role in the group was fun. I havent played with the WoT group lately. We have a game set up for the end of the month. I hope I can have fun with them again. Maybe someone else will DM for me, but if they dont I can always [i]play[/i] with my DnD group. they make it fun. if i dont have fun with my WoT group then I can always say, "hey i get to hang out with my friends. thats whats fun."
