[QUOTE="Switchblade, post: 3978302, member: 56246"] Heroic fantasy game? That doesn’t even sound like a game, let alone heroic. I have played in a few “games” like that (fortunately not for a long time), where all you want to ask is if the GM can hand you the script to rehearse because you sure as hell don’t have free will and all you are there for is to roll dice if you are lucky. Which will be ignored if you don’t get the role the GM was after. If the GM wants to tell you a story fine, as long as you want to listen, but if you want to play a game and the GM doesn’t want to run one can get old fast. Bottling it up is not going to change anything, if anything it will get worse if the GM doesn’t know there is a problem because they might think they are on the right lines. I’d have to advise having a word with the GM and let them know you are not having fun, that way at least there is the possibility of improvement (from your point of view). Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that. If that fails then you have do decide if you’d have more fun playing as is or quitting and spending your time doing something else. If all you are there for is hanging out with your mates you can quite easily do that down the pub without the distraction of keeping track of some pesky plot. Personally as a GM I’d quite like constructive feedback so I can know if I’m doing anything wrong as we are all there to have fun but all my blasted players are far to polite. Or have low standards. The second one is more likely come to think about it. [/QUOTE]
