[QUOTE="taliesin15, post: 3487483, member: 22058"] Believe me, you're not the only one with these problems. Two of the problems here are more widely cultural: players with bad manners, and players who are more interested in vapid pop culture. There's not all that much one can do about it--I saw a Whoopi Goldberg piece a couple of weeks back discussing this very thing, that the younger generation of teens/young adults, while very brilliant, seem to lack when it comes to social skills. I suppose one can and should do one's best to cope and teach these things. Now the other problem is something very pervasive, and I think has to do with the marketing of new products...all these variant class/feat/spell splatbooks and such on the market, leaving one cold. Sure there are good ones out there, but there's very few really interesting products that really help with roleplaying beyond yr basic hack and slash. Its frankly made me want to make my campaign more and more a satire, something akin to the Another Fine Myth series. [/QUOTE]
