Message: <blockquote data-quote="navriin" data-source="post: 856410" data-attributes="member: 1045">I am the DM 99% of the time in games I am involved in.  Because of this I have a hard time being just a player.  I know the rules very well, and when another DM does things different it throws me for a curve.  In part this is because I will make a character who is good at a specific aspect, and then I find out the DM doesn't use that part of the game at all, but mainly it is because I haven't found a DM who runs a game in a style I like.  I find myself always on the verge of saying "that NPC is MUCH smarter than that, he wouldn't *action equivalent of commiting suicide*.  But I suppose I rely heavily on logic and common sense <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.Now, I can still play another's game and have fun however.  No matter how much I dislike the DM's style I can always find ways to have fun with the other players.  (and I don't mean my being disruptive, but by simply RP'ing more than is the norm, making interesting party relations, etc.)To DM another DM I would say you have to put your foot down.  If they disagree with you, remind them that it is YOUR game, and you run it how you want.  If they don't like it they can play another game.  (I've exercised this option plenty of times, just because I don't like a munchkin-style of game doesn't mean I have the right to demand everyone else to stop, gaming is mainly about having fun).</blockquote>
