Message: <blockquote data-quote="dreaded_beast" data-source="post: 1125518" data-attributes="member: 11185">Thanks for all the responses so far.I can honestly say that this has been very helpful, in terms of helping me to determine my course of action.I hope it doesn't seem as if I am solely placing blame on my group for not having the amount of fun that I desire or lack thereof. I realize that I too can be the cause of my unhappiness within the group, stemming from my own personal views and differences. I guess it is my own inability to be upfront with my problems with others for fear of backlash that has caused me to feel this way.Basically, this is what my situation has boiled down to:I leave the session feeling semi-unfulfilled or irritated at some grievance (real or imaginary), whether it be a ruling I disagree with, inability to speak my mind without fear of backlash, etc. That sense of irritation and unfulfillment is strong during the course of the week, but slowly ebbs as the day of game session draws near, my love of DnD superseding whatever anger or resentment I had been feeling from the past session. I arrive at the gaming session enthusiastic, but not as enthusiastic as I once was when I first started gaming with this group. As the game progresses, things crop up that bother or irritate me, but I try to ignore them in order to focus on the game or to prevent the game from stopping and turning into a big arguement as I attempt to speak mind.Re-reading what I have wrote so far, it may come accross more negatively than I intended. I can honestly say that nearly every session has been enjoyable and fun in terms of the "game" itself, but that may not be the case in regards to the "social" interactions with other members of the group. There are some resentments and bottled-up feelings. As one poster mentioned, there are rare times when discussions do happen, but do not go far in solving personal problems, at least in my case. However, I guess that my overall love of DnD is what has been keeping me at the table so far.Plus, I spent alot of time building up my 19th level cleric. That would be alot of Sunday afternoons that would go down the drain. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Has anyone ever felt the same, where they game with people that they would not otherwise associate with (the intent is not to sound elitest or stuck up), only because they love DnD that much?</blockquote>
