[QUOTE="The Fighter-Cricket, post: 7490002, member: 32852"] I only can reiterate what the others said: Tell your players that you aren't having such a good time as DM and tell them in broad strokes what kind of game you would like to play or what you are expecting from this round. If the players say that they are cool with that, have another session, try it out. If it works: great! If not: then the group constellation isn't really working and everybody is expecting something different from the game. Just call it quits and search for some other players. I'm sure in your part of the world there will be plenty! :) And next time, when you start with a new group, you can tell the group what kind of game you would like to play and ask what they would like. (But be warned: Sometimes people don't know what they want and the information you get can be misleading. Then just try out what you think will be good for you and the group and after two or three sessions ask again if everybody is enjoying themselves.) And keep us informed how it went! :) [/QUOTE]
