[QUOTE="Mournblade94, post: 4906049, member: 74608"] My gaming group split over this as well. Only 2 of us were ever willing to DM. Those 2 of us do not like 4e let alone 4e FR. SO the other 4 get mad at us for not DMing the game they want to play, and then blame us for the groups disintegration. I ran 4e for them for 5 months, that was more than enough for me. Now of course the 2 of us who were DM's have moved on to pathfinder and Golarion (though I might just run the FR 3rd edition), and the others complain they only get to play 4e in eberron and genric and not in 4eFR, which is what they want. So the two people that put work into the game and really knew FR lore left it when it got stunted. the other 4 that just liked playing in it and didn't care all that much because they like the game I had set up, want to continue on with 4e realms. It seems to be a trend. Those that REALLY knew the setting, that I know of, moved on to better things. Those that really didn't know or didn't care still like 4eFR. I guess DMing is like driving stick shift. If you know how to drive stick you can drive just about any car anywhere in the world. For RPG's if you are not a DM you are stuck playing what people want to DM. [/QUOTE]
