[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1579919, member: 14403"] I understand where you are coming from but I think you are over reacting a bit. I'm in kind of the same situation. About 6 months ago I moved to a new area. In my old area I was with a group filled with DM's. We could never complete anything because someone would get inspired to run some really kick butt game and rather than squash his enthusiasm we'd stop what we were doing and let him run it. That is one side of the extreme... if everyone loves to DM then you'll never get anywhere in one game because you'll constantly be switching. The flip side is where I am now... NOBODY wants to DM. At first it used to irk me a bit because I love to play from time to time. You know what? I learned to love it. If I can't make it to a game I don't miss out on a session and fall behind in XP. I never get ticked with the way a DM is taking a game or one of his/her rules interpretations because I am the DM. The game goes according to MY schedule and after moving and getting a new job that has been a godsend. I would like to play again sometime but I would be happy with a one-shot and then I'd be happy to get back to DMing again. There are definite advantages to being the DM. Try thinking about those before you start feeling down about the negatives. [I]Be careful what you wish for... you may get it!
