[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3057497, member: 30035"] As a player who doesn't GM (tried it once, I'm just not cut out for it), I try to let the GM know I'm enjoying his game, primarily by showing up for it and being prepared, and paying attention. But I also try to tell my GMs sometimes that I had fun, so they won't feel taken for granted. I also bring stuff. We all like props, so I've contributed props to the group kitty. I buy them minis. I give them index cards. I send them links and PDFs and make photocopies of useful materials. I'll paint minis for them if they want me to. I make up lists of names they can use for NPCs. I lend them character sheets of my retired PCs to use as NPCs. I run NPCs for them so they don't get overwhelmed. I offer ideas for settings and campaigns I'd like to play in (Okay, that one is probably more annoying than helpful ;) ). [/QUOTE]
