Message: <blockquote data-quote="dreaded_beast" data-source="post: 1681040" data-attributes="member: 11185">Kinda long rant.My gaming group consists of 3 players and 1 DM. The 3 players (including myself) are veteran 3.0-3.5 players, while our DM is still new to 3.0-3.5. The last time he DMed I believe it was back during Basic DND.Anyways, I find myself being frustrated at times because when he makes rulings, encounters, etc., I don't think he is using or understanding the rules correctly. In the past, the players would have to correct him every so often when he made errors in interpreting the rules. I understand that the DM is "always right", but when he would ask for ThacO and tell us to make a Save vs. Wands, we would have to say something.However, during the past couple of sessions he has greatly improved and I wouldn't know that he didn't have that much experience with (3.0) 3.5 unless I played with him when he first started DMing for this group. However, due to my knowledge of his inexperience and playing with him during the first couple of his learning sessions, I believe I have lost the "player's trusting the DM to know what he is doing" feeling.In addition, his gaming style is a bit different than what I am used to. It is well enough, but not my first choice of gaming style. More heavy on the rolling of dice, not much description if you know what I mean. Anyways, this coupled with the above, has lead me to make "smart comments" or "mouth off" slightly during the game.When I think about it, I think I may be considered a "problem player" when compared to the rest of the people in the group. I tend to question the DM alot (mainly because I'm not sure I entirely trust what he is doing) and I end up inadvertantly "shooting my mouth off". Last session, I think I may have frustrated the DM and have offended him personally. We were hanging out for around an hour or two after the session and he seemed a bit "peeved" at me, but I'm hoping that it was because everyone was tired and it was getting into the early hours of the morning.I don't want to leave this group and like everyone it. In fact, I was friends/acquantice of the DM long before we started playing together. However, when I think about it, everyone in the group seems pretty content except for me, which causes me to "complain" (not whine, but make comments here and ther) every so often. If anyone in the group would be considered a "problem player", I think it would be me.Advice?</blockquote>
