[QUOTE="Wild Gazebo, post: 2067982, member: 24413"] It's been my experience that most players are more interested in their characters than the game world. And, GM's are more interested in their game worlds than the characters. When there is a lack of growth on either part there is an element of anger, indignation, and/or wish to try something else. I was astounded the other night when I asked my players what their character's hometown was and only two out of six responded without reference. The same went for me when one of the offending players asked, "What colour is my character's eyes or hair or tunic?" 'Course I copped out with a: "well I run the rest of the world," bull-line to try to save face. But, there it is in a nutshell. I suggest that players make more of an effort to further the world as much as GM's make an effort to help further the characters--perhaps there will be less boredom. Please don't pin this solely on the DM. [/QUOTE]
