As a player, I find it not uncommon, especially when another player is having his PC go off on his own, or taking time over a matter I consider inconsequential. As a GM that just can't happen because I have so much power over pacing. If I find an encounter is becoming tiresome I just gloss over it, instead of covering it in detail. If an argument is dragging on I can just tell the players to shut the f-ck up, which is harder to do when you're a player yourself. In short, I find it practically impossible to be bored as a GM.So for that reason, I'm a lot more sympathetic with bored players than bored GMs. I really can't see how it could a problem for a GM.</blockquote>
