[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5314100, member: 22779"] Couple of thoughts. Just because a GM runs a bad game for me, doesn't automatically make me think he's a bad GM. I try to be objective enough to be able to say, "Yeah, that was a pretty well run game, just not for me." On the GM side of the screen, I've had a fair few number of players say that to me, so, I can get behind that. And, I'm also perfectly willing to let inexperience be a mitigating circumstance. If someone's never run a game before, I'm more than willing to put up with an awful lot of stuff, while, (hopefully) offering some constructive feedback. Actually, in most games that I've been involved with, the after session bull gab has always been a tradition. You play for X hours and then spend Y hours talking about the session. Sometimes it helps, sometimes, it really, really doesn't. :( RC- totally. I think I've just rolled the GM version of a medusa on the random encounter table way, way too often. :D Unfortunately, no. I may not be a great DM, but, I think I'm decent enough. But, most of the groups I've been involved with, up until the last four years or so, have only lived about a year or so. I've just moved around way too much. Like I said, I play almost exclusively with strangers for most of my gaming career - meet-ups at the FLGS, co-workers and colleagues, that sort of thing.
