[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 3861332, member: 9646"] I had finished running a months long campaign (3.0), and another player wanted to be the DM for a new campaign. I was glad to become a player but was quickly disappointed. It appeared that the player-turned-DM didn't bother to learn the rules and prepare his adventures. He was simply extremely bad. First gaming session; I argued several times about rules, but to no avail; then, two hours later I couldn't stand it anymore. I said "stop, I cannot continue like that." There was a lengthy discussion, and I was upset. It thereafter appeared that the other two players did agree with me, but were unwilling to be rude to the DM so said nothing. However, it was too much for me to endure. The new campaign aborted there; it was out of question I would have continued paying int it. -------- Long ago, I was running an outer-planar campaign (2e). There was a dispute when some of my players revolted. These players were of evil alignment, and as such believed that the NE daemon lords involved in the adventure would be fair/kind with them, just because they shared the same alignment. I found this view completely ridiculous. Daemons being what they were supposed to be (utter evil, treachery, etc.), they tricked the PCs, without concern for the PCs alignment of course. And the evil PCs' players were surprised and upset: "How something like this may occur??!, [I]we are evil like them after all![/I]". However, there were other players wo agreed with me (the neutral ones by the way). In any case the gaming session ended there and I didn't run again for those players (the rebellious ones). [/QUOTE]
