[QUOTE="dreaded_beast, post: 1390161, member: 11185"] Another reason: replace "Player" with "DM" For myself, it was more an inability to communicate with the DM and others within my gaming circle. In the beggining, I was more than happy to go along with whatever anyone wanted to do, since I was just happy being able to game. However, a few years down the line, I started discovering personality "quirks" between myself, the DM, and others within the group. Being the non-confrontational sort, I failed to bring my concerns before the group, which has ultimately resulted in my near-giving-up on DND and my recent quitting of said group. I have felt a great weight removed from my spirit and rediscovered the joy of DND after leaving said group. After some thought, reflection, ranting on the boards, and helpful advice from ENworlders, I have come to the conclusion that my leaving the group was not any one person's fault, but the failure of the group in general to be "open" with one another in regards to our likes, dislikes, etc. as well as being respectful of each other's opinions and ideas. For myself, I believe a key factor for groups breaking up is a lack of respect between people and a failure to communicate. [/QUOTE]
