Message: <blockquote data-quote="diaglo" data-source="post: 1124255" data-attributes="member: 2885">having left 6 campaigns in the past 2 years over differences i feel qualified in giving some advice.the first one i slogged thru for months thinking it will eventually get better. it never did. finally others were leaving for other reasons so i did also.the second lasted a few months. but scheduling problems made it hard to remember what we did last session, etc...we also never had the same players there. it was like revolving doors. when the host left for a new job. i left for a new campaign.the third i lasted one session. one guy (who wasn't even playing. he was the boyfriend of the only woman in the group)attacked the DM and tried to bite him. way too weird for me.the fourth was too high powered for my taste. the emails and talks i had with the DM didn't express this. but when i started playing i soon realized. lasted 2 sessions.the fifth was too far away. i drove 1.5 hrs there and 1.5 hrs home afterwards. that lasted 1 session.the sixth was like playing in an anime game. it wasn't D&D to me. but i met several other players who felt the same way. we broke off to try a new campaign.currently i'm in my seventh attempt at the new edition. you can read about it in my sig.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> you need to decide where to draw your line. and when to say enough is enough. it gets easier with each time. and eventually if you have patience and a little luck you will find something more appealing.i still haven't found exactly what i'm looking for, but at least everyone in my group knows that.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> btw Original D&D(1974) is the only true game. All the other editions are poor imitations of the real thing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
