Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Osis of Liver" data-source="post: 107422" data-attributes="member: 2427">Nothing wrong with whining.....In fact, i like to whine about things myself, makes me feal better.I can sypathize with you 100% DocM. I've been running into many of the same problems that you did with your lame duck DM.In ablility to run monsters well, which leads to leveling up too quickly. The it's my story/campiagn world syndrome that many dm's seem to suffer from. He has a hard time balancing role-play with action so at times there will be long spell were we do nothing but roleplay, which would be fine, but he's horrible with xp for roleplay. What ends up happening is we'll have times when we go up multiple levels rapededly, and times were it takes for ever to go up a level.The biggest problem is his case of DM's wife/girlfriend syndrome. His wife, aside from being undefeatable in any cercomestance, is the only one not heald back by the it's my campaign problem. Specifically she has characters that basically rule every kingdom in the campaign( notice i didn't say npc's).None of the players are happy either, the problem is we can't just tell him were to stick it, because he's a good guy and one of my/our best friends and we've been playing with him for years.I would also like to say i've noticed a tendacy among DM's to get real defensive and refuse to change thier ways of running things in order to keep the game fun for all. Most DM's also refuse to addmit any shot comings.I'll addmit it, i think as DM's go I'm crap, thats why i want to play. I would also like to point out that i did DM for a lot of years, the main problem bring i couldn't live up to my own expectations.</blockquote>
