[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 2623364, member: 1129"] Don't think that there are any games I would fall into in this category. Many of the games I've played, I played because I owned them and was able to convince others that it was worth playing. At one point, Hero was an exception because I was waiting for the BBB to come out in Hardcover as my own book was destroyed from use and poor binding but I had owned the book, just not as long as I would've enjoyed. Ah, SLA Industries. I haven't owned that book because I was waiting on the 2nd edition to come out, wasn't DMing, and had a simple character. Good stuff being the drugged up dude with the chainsaw sword. Ah, "Mr. Jack"... where are you and your blade "Sweet Ivory" now? For the most part, players should own or have access to the rules. The GM is there not to provide the rules but to use them to tell an entertaining story. Between coming up with NPCs, maps, puzzles, and a host of other responsibilities, I think it would be unfair to add "teacher" to the list. For those with the time, bless you. I just don't consider it part of my responsibility unless I'm teaching a fresh new crop of gamers how to play. [/QUOTE]
