[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8721593, member: 6877472"] The players and the referee have a responsibility to make the game fun for everyone. All stop. Anything that makes the game more fun is worthy, and anything that isn't....isn't. If that means take notes so the DM doesn't have to keep recapping every session, or make sure there's an extra PHB around, or that you know the rules regarding your character abilities, so be it. But that's not always necessary at every table. Being the referee is a tough job, and often it feels like the players aren't giving you your due. And sometimes, the players feel like the ref is trying too hard to challenge them, and turning the game into an unfun slog. In my experience, what should happen here, in the interests of shared enjoyment, is that the group should talk this out like adults. If they can't, well, not all people are meant to play together. Everyone is free to back out and create a new group, after all. [/QUOTE]
