Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cybern" data-source="post: 1080230" data-attributes="member: 13147">Glad (..) to hear that I'm not alone.  In our group, we each take our turn being DMs, most of the time in completely different campaigns.  I started out a new campaign in a homebrewed strange setting, and my players were all happy about it.  Then for four weeks the game was postponed because someone had something else to do (we usually play 1-2/week).  I gave the XP by email some days after the game session, but told my girlfriend in person (we live together).Then it happened again, she started whining about how much I gave to the others but not to her and blablabla...She always whine about something unless she DM's, and our couple is going down the drain because of RPGs... and that's sad.So I burned out a month ago, and we don't speak of RPGs at home.  It sucks, real good.  She loves RPGs, but have this paranoïa/anger management problem, and it's worse when we talk about gaming.  I introduced her to RPGs some 5 years ago, and she got hooked as fast as on heroine.  But whenever she dislikes one little detail, I get about a week of bul"/$%.  Anyway, I once played with a group like your own, and at one point we kicked the non-serious gamers out, and got on.  While we were only 3 (2+dm) after that, the game was much more fun.  I believe that you cannot LOVE the game but get stuck as the only potential DM.  If it gets to be a chore, it needs to stop.  That's what I did.</blockquote>
