[QUOTE="cougent, post: 4043110, member: 48665"] [I]Following from that other thread[/I] I think in the past I would have done just that, said "I'm outta here" and moved on. I like to think and hope that today as a [B]player[/B] I would try to have an OOG frank discussion with the DM before resorting to the feet. As a [B]DM[/B] I have fairly solidly resorted to either being approached, or even approaching players who seemed unhappy even if they did not say anything. All of this is though predicated on all parties acting like adults. Add whining (and worse yet open rudeness) and my attitude changes 180 degrees about. That may not be politically correct these days, but that is just me. As a player (recently started in a new game after several years from the other side) I try to give the DM the benefit of the doubt. In our second session I "felt" like my Gnome Illusionist* was being "picked on" and he did take more hits and damage than any of the other 4 party members even while away from the fray. [bad rolls to hit them, lucky crits on me] However knowing the DM (a former player of mine) I knew this was not the case, it was just luck of the die. While my PC was at -3 but stable, I took a quick break, grabbed another cold one, streched and walked outside in the nice cool evening air and came back in with no ill will. Our cleric (who was fighting for his life also) managed to get to me and cast CLW for 4 points and I was conscious again... woohoo! In another instance, as DM I totally blew the call on an issue with a Psionic PC, and he asked me in game about my call (politely, but frustrated). I stuck with it, he grudgingly went along. After the game he came to me, book in hand to point out my mistake. I agreed with him and made the proper adjustments for the next session. I have no problem with being wrong or mistaken, on some days it seems to be more the norm than the exception. I just expect a certain civility when being informed of my wrongness. *Yes I said Gnome Illusionist, had to try it just to see why so many hated Gnomes [/QUOTE]
