The humor and banter were not as good as past years. Scott Kurtz was sick, so that may have had something to do with it. But also but having Mike Krahulik DM, it really changed the dynamic of Mike, Jerry, and Scott, who work so well together as players and give the AI games most of the magic. The rest of the magic comes from Chris Perkins as DM. I don't think he brought as much as a player as he does as a DM. The chemistry is just different. Chris as DM with Scott, Jerry, and Mike as players works very, very well. I actually liked the second half with Patrick Rothfuss better, even though he wasn't the smoothest DM for broadcast game. It is just more fun having Mike in the group as a player. Don't get me wrong, I like Patrick as a player and he is starting to feel less like a "guest star" but he still remains the most replaceable member of the AI group. Also, Chris Perkins is a very hard act to follow as a DM (I thought Mike did GREAT, but I still like Mike as a player for AI). I'm looking forward to the new series.</blockquote>
