[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 2031189, member: 10447"] There may be another factor that I haven't seen mentioned yet. Sometimes, people just get tired of D&D. I was DM in a long-running campaign when two of my players started being very whiney. Turned out they just didn't want to play D&D anymore (and were doing so mainly to be social). Part of it may have been that my DM style was starting to bore them (although the other 3 in the group were having a blast), but there are times when people burn out on the game, or, are simply bored with the game the DM has created. It doesn't mean you are a bad DM in general, but you may be a bad DM for that particular player. However, as others have mentioned, it's a game. If a player is not having fun, the DM, IMO, should do what he or she can to change that (as long as the changes don't affect the other players having fun). If a happy medium can't be reached, the player should stop participating in the campaign (lest he or she begin to bring down the others). [/QUOTE]
