[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7501960, member: 22779"] Ok, waded through about 20 pages of this thread before figuring I'm running out of time and I need to bookmark this thread. :D Reasons I have left a game: 1. The DM was a total prat. Nothing but an endless stream of DMPC's and wanting us to ooh and ahh over his well crafted plots that in no way actually involved the PC's as anything other than observers. The entire group walked on this one. 2. The DM again was a prat. The straw that broke the camels back in this one was after the group spent three SESSIONS planning a heist, the DM, at the beginning of the next session, had the mark suddenly leave town, no explanation and no possibility of being found. The group revolted on the spot. 3. Glacial pacing. A long term DM that I played with that I just had to step away from. I just got rather tired at the glacial pace of his campaigns. Great DM, but, just not for me. It took us NINETEEN sessions (3 hour sessions) to play the first module from Shackled City. I just couldn't handle it anymore. 4. DMing Style Mismatch - a new(ish) group that I joined, I just found that I disagreed with the DM far, far too often. So, I thanked the DM politely and stepped back. It was just too frustrating. Can't think of anything else at the moment. [/QUOTE]
