Secondly, if everyone else is enjoying it but your needs are not met why would you want to sour your friends' fun? What you are suggesting sounds like quite a dick move, I could me completely mistaken, but that is how I understood it considering that you stated "my wants are not met" and not "our wants are not met."Generally, if I'm not having fun a table: I discuss the issue with the rest of the players so see if I'm alone in this experience or if the feeling is mutual. If it is mutual I would then broach the conversation privately with the DM. If it is just me, I'd either hang in there till the campaign ends or politely excuse myself from the group. And it matters not whose house it is as it doesn't establish one the right to be dickish or not, IMO.Funny enough I recently did this, but, I come from a group where no one else would like to DM or cannot DM as consistently to meet the needs of the group, so sadly the mantle usually falls on my shoulders. If I'm going to take the time out to prep adventures and ensure everyone is having a good time - I don't always have to offer such options to the players - since the weight of DMing falls on me everytime, I might want to run something easy and simple, so should I decide to leave out half the races, spells, levels, feats... or offer only one setting, time frame.... with certain houserules or only use this particular edition that is my prerogative as the only reliable DM in the group. So yeah, I'm not willing to take any criticism on that front...as I would love to have the ease of playing.And just to clarify, I do work with the players, a lot, - please do not view this minor rant as me being some kind of power-hogging DM extremist with no flexible bone in his body. So no strawmen please. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
