[QUOTE="Anavel Gato, post: 1126976, member: 12257"] Hey everyone, I am hoping you all can help me with this dilemma I find myself in. I have recently grown rather bored and disgruntled with my D&D group. We meet on sundays for what is supposed be a few hours beginning play at 1 and ending around 5 or so. Lately though people haven't been showing up until 2 and we've been playing later, not a huge deal. However, this is just one of many problems that I see with our group. Everyone knows we play on sunday yet we often have people scheduling things for that day, again no big deal. However, one of these people is the one who originally started the group and last year was unable to play most times because he had moved (he has since moved back). I can understand a person has work or something that is a can't miss on a sunday or they have a lot of schoolwork. But anymore when we do meet it really has not been fun. I've put alot of work into stringing a large story together that would change our setting and allow them to give more input to the world and how we play. So, of the group have no idea what is going on and we have been at this for at least a year now. A month or so ago, I was able to be a player that was nice. I had fun, but it was annoying because even though we had another dm people looked at me for rule descions if the dm, that is annoying for me who just wants to play and for the dm who now is being undermined. I also, got together with another group member one day a few weeks back were we used one of our own groups, seperate from the sunday group and played a module. He dm'ed and had been psyched about this module. It was terrible. We really didn't even finish it to the nth degree, we did what we needed to and left. He had read this module a month ago or so and was convinced he was prepared, he wasn't and I think that is what made it so bad. After that experience and recently people not being able to make it and all I have become really frustrated with even thinking about playing. I guess what I am asking for is advice to get me past this "burn out." Or a way to deal with my frustration. I mean I used to love to play and dm, right now, I could careless, I keep trying to get people to play and they always have a reason why they can't...some valid others not so valid.... [/QUOTE]
