Sorry if I'm reading a bit too far into it, but that is rather what you sound like.  You sound like you aren't willing to even try playing any other way anymore.Now, I'm a strong proponent of the "Play the way you have fun" position.  I won't knock the way you play.  I will, however, respectfully submit that the resistance to trying, the rejection of experiment, is not particularly healthy.  Resistance to experimentation is, in my experience, one of the classic first steps toward burnout.  When was the last time you really tried to do without?  And I don't mean trying to do the same old thing, and been frustrated with not having your tools.  I'm talking about putting aside the tools, and running the game differently to suit.  When was the last time you really took a break from how you normally do things, and tried to see if you might now have a taste for something else?*shrug*.  Apologies if I am off base.  But it'd be a shame if I were right, and failed to make you aware of it.</blockquote>
