[QUOTE="Sammael99, post: 499733, member: 1157"] Depending on exactly the mood you're in, I'd say you have a number of options : - change games : getting into a radically different RPG can really bring back that thrill of discovery. For example, I find that my players know way too much about how the game works. They can identify most spells and monsters by heart, there's very little mystery. While there are ways to camouflage that in your D&D games, it's a lot easier to turn everyone on their heads and start something different. I'd say if your players are into acting, negociating and that kind of stuff, get them to play Vampire. If they're more into action, get them to play Werewolf. Or try something Sci-Fi, like Fading Suns...
