[QUOTE="The Furious Puffin, post: 48224, member: 614"] [b]I know what you mean[/b] It can be hard to switch from DM to player there is an overidding urge to run the game. For example after DMing a group for a long time (almost ever since we started playing) I switched back to playing, after running out of ideas. In the minddle of the first game one of the players turned to face me and started describing his actions in the game. After we all stopped laughing the game resumed unhindered. That particular incident was triggered by me semi-westing crontrol of the game off the actual DM by describing *my* actions as I would a critical NPC, and because the group was used to my method of presentation they responded. I also argee with nsruf not matter what, if you know the rules better than the DM there is a heavy tempation to say "but that's NOT how it works, you should be doing it like this" :) Generally I try not to think about it, makes the problem easier [/QUOTE]
