[QUOTE="Ydars, post: 4293235, member: 62992"] I have had the same problem doing this in session (the DM once had to speak to me out of game) and I have been a DM with another DM who had the same problem; and believe me it is SO annoying when someone else tries to take over your game. I have the perfect cure for this. Tape or film the session and then look back at yourself as other people see you. If you are as bad as you describe, you will not like what you see. If I were you, I would give yourself something else to concentrate on during the game. Start an in character log of the game so that you have something to do other than meddle in-session (and so you will be helping rather than annoying the DM). You can also try and craft a character that is so brilliant (in terms of personality, history, aims etc) that you really want to play it. Give this info to your DM so that he knows you are supporting him and his game. If someone has the decency to try and DM a game, it is the height of rudeness not to show him and the other players proper respect. [/QUOTE]
