[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1100462, member: 9037"] There is some talk about starting either a Midnight campaign or a Stargate campaign. Both would be run by different DMs. One who I have never player with as a DM. I spent some time after I posted talking with my roommate and I think we have hit on what my problem is. I am very much a role player it is what I enjoy best. What I love about it is making a character and have it react to the people and places in the world. The character is fluid it changes from its experiances. So sometimes the concept I started with is not what I end up with. In some ways it is like real life that way. We are shaped by what life throws at us. We had a campaign that lasted two and half years it was wonderful and you know what the guys in the game played no different than they do in this current campaign. I think the problem is that the DM is inexperianced and does not know how to provide enough things in game for us role players. I think to role play effectively you need well drawn NPCs and you need things with which to play off of. In the current campaign the only thing to play off was the party and the alingment differences so we ended up with a lot of inter party conflict. I think one of the other problems is that the guys think they are role players and to some extent they are but we don't agree on what role playing really is so it is hard to have a discussion on what is lacking in the game. So because I am so unhappy and bored in the game all the things that bug me a little are now bugging me a lot. I guess I need to talk to them again and see if we can resolve this and if we can't then maybe it is time to move on or take a break for a while. [/QUOTE]
