[QUOTE="EarthsShadow, post: 465228, member: 3531"] Another problem that hasn't been stated is the fact that everyone in the gaming group wants to be a DM and there could be so many ideas circulating through all the minds within the group that when one is DM, everyone else who wants to be DM feels cheated. It's rare, but that is what causes our group to disintegrate a couple weeks ago, with rather bad feelings after its was all said and done. We tried the idea where each DM would run their game once a week, but everyone else got tired of making characters so much (me, I liked it because I was actually playing a character in a Star Wars game, Judge Dredd game, and a couple of D&D games), so then we tried that a DM can run a game for two to three weeks straight. That worked for a month and a half. It failed with this group because once our characters gained a level and we saw them start to develop a little, another DM was quick to point out it was his turn, so we stopped that one and went to another. So, after I got done running a 6 month campaign that ended 10 months ago because the others felt I was trying to control the group by taking up so much time, I ended it and we tried the other options, non of course satisfying to a group of 6 DM's that all want to be DM and only one or two really wanting to be a player, not only did our campaigns end, but so did the group. When looking at campaigns, I guess also look at group and who wants to be DM, and what kinds of ideas are floating around. I have yet to play a game since then, and I have a good Shadow Chasers idea for d20 Modern, but so far when you lose 5 others to a stupid argument, its hard to find another group of players that want to play. Thanks for letting me speak this, its been inside a long time and I know it wasn't exactly on topic, but I feel better and I hope you all don't mind. Congratulations to any person in a group that can stay together for longer than a year, to me that's just amazing. [/QUOTE]
