[QUOTE="Ashy, post: 52493, member: 312"] Tarmy, gothwalk, tarmy..... :) Zerovoid - I can relate, I had a similiar problem. In one of my campaigns, I *TOLD* the players to be ready to take notes and "do homework" as I call it - i.e. read and know the info I give them. They did not, so I struggled with it and wound up feeling exactly like you said - like I was doing all of this work for nothing. And in fact, that was (and still is, in your case) exactly correct. You are doing the work for you, not the PC's, since they do not seem to care. All you have to do now is ask yourself is it something that you would be doing if you had no players? If not, then stop spoon feeding the players - let them deal with a "flat, boring" game. If so, however, dont waste the time on the players if they are not going to appreciate it - focus that time into writing or something that makes YOU happy. Hey - there are PLENTY of D20 Open Calls floating around! :) Whatever you decide to do, Zerovoid - best of luck! :) [/QUOTE]
