[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6400856, member: 22779"] So, politely bowing out of a game that I won't enjoy is not acceptable and makes me a bad player? Even when I clearly stated that there are no hard feelings and it's perfectly fine with me? Wow, your definition of bad player KarinsDad is pretty broad. I mean, GregK above talked about bowing out of two or three campaigns that he didn't want to play, not because the DM was bad or whatnot. Why are you not badgering him as well? And, just to be absolutely clear on the timeline here, because, apparently, I'm not being clear enough: 1. The group is engaged in a long term (3 years plus now) 4e Darksun campaign. 2. The DM of that campaign needs a bit of a break to recharge his batteries. 3. Another player offers to run a short term Planescape adventure - say 6 sessions or so. Everyone agrees and plays. 4. The DM, for personal reasons, would like to change to a biweekly campaign and have someone else run things in the intervening weeks. This might also turn into a weekly game, again, due to personal reasons and the Darksun game goes on hiatus for a while. 5. The other player offers to run a Planescape campaign. Other players are fine with it and several are strong fans of the setting. 6. Despite enjoying the short term game, I am not willing to play in that setting long term. I simply do not enjoy the game. So, I politely offer to bow out while they play Planescape and return once Darksun goes off hiatus. 7. The rest of the group decides that no, they would rather play with all of us together than exclude me and another player offers to run a Dragonlance campaign. 8. We are now playing in a Dragonlance campaign. So, at what point am I being a self entitled, whiney player who has to get his way? [/QUOTE]
