[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5543492, member: 54629"] Yes, you've come across as very humble there. Good job. Can you please teach me how to be as humble as you are? Yeah, you're probably right. I should really listen to you guys who've never sat at my table and seen me GM in person. You really seem to know what you're talking about. Maybe my players [i]are[/i] just continuing to show up each session out of a sense of solidarity after all and not because they actually enjoy it ... but wait! Someone said earlier in this thread that there is no loyalty amongst gamers and that if they aren't having fun, they'll leave ... and yet these guys keep showing up (the only one who's actually quit the group is the guy running the PF game, and that wasn't because he wasn't enjoying it but rather because of some real life issues concerning his GF - sorry if I left that out before), and on top of that they have all told me that they don't [i]want[/i] to leave (it's just that they don't want there to be any conflicts between the two games either), so I must be doing [i]something[/i] that they like, right? So maybe, just maybe, my game [i]doesn't[/i] suck! Could that be possible at all? Or am I way off base? Help me out here please. I'm confused now. Yes, this is what I am now doing. I have said so several times now. I have moved on from where I was at when I first started this thread. But here's the thing: I am now at a point where I would like to put all of this behind me and forge ahead with my new plan, which is to run a two-player game rather than a five/six/seven-player one. How do I politely let the other three know that I would now actually prefer it if they [i]didn't[/i] keep coming? [/QUOTE]
