[QUOTE="athos, post: 5274138, member: 32605"] [b]Minor Rant[/b] This is meant to be a humorous suggestion for those who never GM a game, but play all the time. B-) [rant] Ok, I love to play and like to DM, but I end up DMing 80% or more of the time since noone else is willing to step up. I know players that constantly whine about everything, not just in my games, but in others as well, and I would just like to slap them silly sometimes, since these are usually the slugs that never, ever, ever DM a game. GMs work hard to create balanced encounters that will challenge the party without killing them. We work hard to develop a good storyline for the players to interact with. It is not easy to do this week in and week out. So give your GM a break now and again. But, still some people refuse to lend a hand and GM occassionally or ever. I don't know where they get the sense of entitlement that there should just magically be DMs out there for them that are meant to cater their games to them, but they do have that sense of entitlement and it drives me crazy. So for all you deadbeats that never GM, try it ! The worst that can happen is you suck, but at least you will have some emathy for your DM next time and won't whine quite as bad, and will understand better when we tell you no, you can't play your half-celestial ethergaunt in a human dominated world. [/rant] So what have we learned: no whining, it makes it hard on the GM, and give the GM a break every now and again and you run a game for him/her. This has been a message from the Council of Overworked GM's, COG, it in no way reflects the views or opinions of anyone else, any similarities to anyone past or present are purely coincidental. :cool: [/QUOTE]
