[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7555732, member: 6880599"] Maybe but my GM is a friend and is trying to change after the group raised it in a debate after a game when it got silly. We get a "gotcha" moment every now and then, but its more an "old habit die hard" than a "My way or the highway" thing. I am not a perfect player or GM in my side game and would prefer the GM and players I play with give me a chance to improve instead of just not invite me or show up anymore. I will give him the same respect and chance to grow. After all its not easy being GM there is quite a bit more work than what players need to do. If your playing AL, sure don't go back to that table, but even if DMs are everywhere that doesn't mean I would be welcome in their house and at their table. I might be very luck to find a second GM as a 37 year old man playing D&D in English in Japan where the majority of English speaking gamers are teens or early 20s. The majority of the gamers mostly stick to video games or play everyday with no family here. My wife would not be cool with me playing that much and would result in me being "not dedicated enough to the group" and that's assuming we had compatible personalities. So I generally don't walkout in true home games without bad continual problems. Easer to renovate then rebuild a burnt bridge. [/QUOTE]
