[QUOTE="Ashtal, post: 118864, member: 3"] I don't think many would say that the world revolves around the GM, but it is his or her game. And unless you are willing to personally step up to the plate and the rest of the group decides this is a good thing, then the only thing you can do to protest what you feel to be consistantly poor GMing is to vote with your feet and leave the group. As others have said, it is about your comfort levels. If the disagreement has a minimal effect on the game and you are still, for the most part, enjoying yourself, stay. If the decision(s) have huge consequences on the nature of the game, or if you feel the GM has gone past the realms of fairness, then it may be time to walk. But certainly talking with the GM, in an open, honest dialogue that is focused on making the game better, overall, and not trying to settle who is right, wrong, or whatever, is the first step. As always, try to understand the GM's point of view. There may be issues involved that you aren't party to, that would make everything clear but may ruin an element of the game. Unless the grievance is really...greivous...:)...it's probably best to stay put and try to be a positive contributer to the game. [/QUOTE]
