"Great session"? Wait, I'm confused...

[ST]

I'd even take that a step further:

Hey players, TALK TO YOUR DM. Offer criticism. TELL me what you liked and what you didn't like. Don't just say "good game" and go home. Let me know. I WANT FEEDBACK.

Feed your DM.

Word. (This is really true in any social relationship, IMO. Telling your wife something specific you love about her can have much more impact than "You look great today".)

Specifics are awesome and help foster further communication.

So a player in my group said something on Saturday after our session that I don't understand. He said, "This was a great session!" I've been DMing for about 10 years now, and I've never heard these words uttered out of another players mouth before. What exactly did he mean by that? Is this what some call, a "compliment"? I've heard of such things, but I thought it was a myth. Was he just trying to get some bonus XP from me or something? Or maybe he stole something from my house, and that was great? Hmm, I'm unnerved by these words.

I got 2 new players in the last 6 months. This current group of players are great. I've been having a blast playing with them. It was nice to hear a compliment and that just inspires me to keep doing what I'm doing and try my best.

There's no real point to this thread other than to brag, since I'm used to just hearing complaints from players Just let me have my moment please!

Don't fall for it. It's part of the Player class charm attack maneuver!
