[QUOTE="scourger, post: 1942943, member: 12328"] I've been there. Pretty recently, too. In the end, you have two choices (as I did): keep gaming or don't. You have to make it all about you and maximize your fun. I do this by decreasing my investment. That means no more customized or painted minis--not even when I DM and not even for my own player characters unless I'm really motivated. No extra prep time, either. Whatever is taking up the non-fun time gets eliminated. In your case as in mine, those out-of-game emails have to be curtailed. Also, I gave a couple of campaigns nicknames to drive home my point. You might call yours The Blind Paladin Always Wins Campaign, or The Nobody Ever Dies Game; or just name it after that paladin character or the wizard NPC (but you may have missed the boat on that bitter nickname). Don't commit to do anything until after the paladin has committed or acted. All this should drive home the point of your dissatisfaction. Above all, make sure the GAME is more about PLAY than it is about WORK. [/QUOTE]
