I play in a "pseudo-AL" group; we meet during AL play time but we don't necessarily play AL-legal games. So we wind up having a fairly "diverse" table with a rotating cast.One night our then-DM flaked and announced that he wasn't showing up and in fact was no longer interested in DMing. He was having some friction with the group so this was a sensible decision, but he announced it just before the game started so we were all sitting there ready to play, but with no DM. Fortunately, one of the new guys stepped up to continue the campaign!It didn't go well. He lasted two sessions as DM. His game-play style just really didn't fit well with our group at all, and he seemed way more interested in running the game he wanted to run than in giving his players the game they wanted to play. For example, he preferred theater-of-the-mind when everyone else wanted to do minis+grid. And he had this elaborate and bizarre campaign setting with lots of exposition and lore, when we all just wanted to go have an adventure.We didn't actually boot him, but one of the other players stepped up to DM, and the guy stopped coming to sessions after that. I feel kind of bad about it because he was a really nice guy. He just seemed totally oblivious to his audience.</blockquote>
