One of them is face-to-face, one is online. I love my players. They are imaginative, fun and inventive. But there are a few that won't read anything I give them, or put the least amount of effort into understanding the rules and I've had to explain the rules on certain issues more times than I should have to.And, especially in the online game, that gets a little old when you have to TYPE out an explanation that you KNOW you've typed before.Some people are just like that. And it doesn't matter WHAT you're playing. There comes a point where you make the decision to either grin and bear it, or remove those players from your game.I made the choice to bear it, because the level of imagination and creativity each of my players brings to the table is worth it. Many of them have written stories and plot supplements that they post on our game forum. And you just can't BUY that kind of interest in your game. I'm a lucky GM.To the original poster, you need a break. You display the classic signs of DM burnout. It happens to all of us, man. Sooner or later.</blockquote>
