[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 3054241, member: 10638"] I posted this as a humor category because it's not that serious, however at the end of our gaming session last night I got to talking with my players about what it is that "they" bring to the group. Most of my players DM a few times per year or run games for the RPGA, but all of us shared what it's like to be in the DM's chair with players who never give back (aka, never DM for ANYONE else). One guy just experessed that he's had it with Living Greyhawk..I reached that point a couple years ago so I sympathized. We all agreed (even the players who never DM) most players take and take and take and don't give back much. If a DM burns-out, they blame the DM for not knowing how to handle rude players or they blame the DM for not knowing when to say when or blame the DM for not organizing enough games. We've seen that this is ESPECIALLY true in the RPGA or convention environment where DM's are treated like cheap whores and it only takes one blood-sucking-tick at a table to burn out a DM. What DO players who never DM bring to our gaming groups? jh NOT MEANT TO BE A TROLL..FEEL FREE TO VENT .. [/QUOTE]
