[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 5754314, member: 9053"] Perhaps I'm just getting cranky as I get older, but I find I have less and less patience for a game that I don't enjoy. When I was younger, I had far fewer responsibilities, so if the game was less than stellar, what did it matter? Nowadays, there's so much competing for my time that I just don't have the patience for bad gaming, even with friends. In short, I'm going to suggest being direct and honest with people and saying "I'm not having fun in the game for these reasons..." If the GM wants to run that kind of game after that, more power to them, I just won't be able to stick around for it. Friends can hear that kind of thing, and friends can also make plans to do things that aren't gaming to spend time together. Open, honest communication is the key: if you're not having fun, take a break and come back when things change. "This style of game just isn't for me," is not an insult, after all, and if the other players don't agree with you, then it might make the game better if you don't play. That's my suggestion, anyway.
