Message: <blockquote data-quote="Falcon" data-source="post: 233133" data-attributes="member: 1056">Kestrel,I applaud your inviting other people with whom you have gamed to provide their input and more context.  The hardest thing I have encountered as a DM is asking player to let me know how things are going.  I try my best, but I am me, and I know my strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes.If the current situation is not working, drop it. Be patient.  Be true to what you like and who you are, and trust me, you will find the right campaign, Grasshopper. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Seriously, if it is not enjoyable for you as DM, considering how much time and energy you obviously devote to your campaign, and how concerned you are to make it work by inviting others who have gamed with you to comment here, why not take a break and do some other things while toying around with campaign ideas?I had some serious difficulties with a player in the campaign I DM, and I ended up telling him he wasn't obligated to play in my campaign.  That made him feel better, he is playing in a campaign he likes, and I continue with mine, and we are still friends.  The differences were stylistic. I highly recommend Robin D.  Law's book on Gamemastering (title escapes me now).  It has really helped me understand what style I like and am capable of, and how to work with players and their PC's in developing scenarios and campaigns.Good luck and keep trying.</blockquote>
