[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2033865, member: 23174"] Well, all of my mistakes have been small on that scale. However, as far as the "Final Thought"(TM) goes, I had one player who was taking the game too seriously (which is what helped me give advice a few weeks ago). Now my players are not taking the game seriously at all. This is just killing the game for me. I REALLY LOVE the campaign I am running and the players all profess to love it too, but the almost constant heckling, along with constant metaspeak (asking NPC's their level, having a fighter shout out menu items every time they encounter an enemy, using "ghettospeak" IC, etc.) and stuff is really killing it for me. I hate to admit it, but I am actually thinking about putting the campaign on hold and taking a hiatus. I don't want to, but telling them to stop the behavior didn't work and asking them to leave the group will leave me with 3 players... also, these players have been great players in the past. I am blaming my mistakes and the problem with the other player for the current problems, but I am not sure. So, they "show up" but not to game. I have communicated the expectations of the game repeatedy, and they have agreed that it is what they want in a game. Grrrr..... Not sure what to do. DM [/QUOTE]
