[QUOTE="thegrumpyyoungman, post: 5454995, member: 97257"] fantastic response goonalan....exactly what i needed to hear. i dont think i have any "nutters" in my group :D other than me of course, and after hearing your story i dont think i want one. the love poem and battle song and what not are kinda over the top for the game that i run. i do require any new player that joins our fray to write up a back story for their character. this can be as extensive or as short as they like, but it does force them to invest a little time into their character. anyway, i think im investing all this time into my game because i CHOOSE to like you said, but then i get a little miffed when my players dont want to invest the same amount of time. im not sure how to fix this other than for me just to chill. it will be tough :erm: but i'll figure it out. maybe my players will want to invest more as they continue to play (they are new to the game after all). im hoping thats the case.
