[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5119236, member: 18253"] Like most on this thread, I set high standards. To that end, I critique my games and techniques and make adjustments. After some very early pre-high school games I started to take ref'ing pretty seriously but it wasn't until post college that I really got into the self-appraisal and attempts to improve. The motivation for this was actually a negative event- one of my players told me my game was boring at times. That's when I re-thought a sandbox approach and decided to take a more active role in the "plot". That's not to say players don't have plenty of choice but it does mean I usually have a story in mind and will see to it that it moves along once the players indicate interest in it. And it's not to say there are other ref approaches but for me the change was part of the attempt to excel as a ref and make sure my players were enjoying themselves and coming back for more.
