[QUOTE="Mark, post: 4852369, member: 5"] Not saying this is necessarily similar to your case, but I went to a play last night and listened afterward as a few dozen people who stuck around glad-handed and patted the performers on the back. I have seen worse plays but to listen to the accolades, one would have thought we were backstage at the Tony Awards. It's hard to be objective and direct with someone who has obviously done a lot of work preparing an entertainment. With store-bought adventures and campaigns, the feedback has some wiggle room as to whether flaws come from the material or the presentation. With a self-written, one-man show, anything said speaks directly to the talents of the one person. I think players walk on eggshells when critiquing DMs in most cases and we never get one hundred percent honest feedback. It's best to avoid aspects that can too easily become or be seen as self-indulgent. [/QUOTE]
