[QUOTE="atom crash, post: 3484255, member: 22162"] This thread serves to illustrate how much your gaming experience is influenced by who you game with. I doubt giving it up is the answer. It sounds like you need to get a different group. Take a break, as others have suggested. When I lived in Florida, I looked for and found a group. I was excited to be playing again. After a few sessions, I realized that I wasn't a good fit for their game. They weren't bad people or bad players and it wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't a good fit for what I was looking for. So I graciously bowed out. I never was able to find another group there. Several years later, I moved to a new city again. So I began searchig for another group again. After a few short months, I found a group of guys who were looking for more players to join their established campaigns. We've been playing ever since, and what's more, we're great friends now. Often when we get together, we don't even game. And when we do game, it makes it even better that we can do so without having arguments. (Sure, there are rules disputes, but we're able to settle them like reasonable adults). Don't let a few bad eggs ruin the whole thing for you. There are good players out there. Or rather, more to the point, there are players out there whose play style and temperament are compatible with what you expect from fellow gamers. You may need to look a bit for them, but they're out there. And you'll appreciate the effort when you do find them. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
