[QUOTE="BaldHero, post: 1795453, member: 13173"] Polite conversation was going nowhere in our case. This guy literally refused to hear us. We had a big pregame meeting, and discussed that we werent really having fun, and could we make some changes. he agreed, said thanks for the feedback, then went right back to the same habits and performances, in the SAME session. We were flabergasted, he just completely ignored us. We were absolutely clear about what we wanted and what he was doing right and wrong. We were polite, and we talked to him like the friend he was. we felt like the only option we had was to engineer the end of the game, artificially. Whenever someone ends a game, we always poll to see what we play next. Our groups unanimous decision was that we wanted to try another setting, and someone volunteered to run a game for us, while our bad DM rewrote his campaign to accomodate the tpk into the storyline. So this happens to other people, and they deal with it in other ways, some similar and some not. Im grateful that our story was resolved well, although i wish our friend could cope with being taken from the DM chair straightforward, so that we wouldnt have to be so conspiratorial. [/QUOTE]
