[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 3028072, member: 20805"] After skimming all this, I feel the thread started off on the wrong foot... Nobody is 'at fault'. Its a game. Sometimes the game focuses on one character or set of characters to the exclusion of another. If the DM plans it this way, its bad for the DM. If the game runs this way due to in character choices.. thats what this game is about, right? Now, could the player with the palidon done something other then stew over being left out? Yup. Could the DM offered that player a minor NPC to oppose the rest of the party with, splitting the load of the DM and keeping everyone involved? Sure. Live and learn. Caveat, this is coming from a player whose WEG Star Wars character spent 60 to 70% of game session time off-screen doing supporting role stuff, and I ended up spending the time either reading comic books or helping dig up obscure rule references... or even helping out at one of the other game tables in the FLGS we played at. Could I have gotten annoyed that my character was rarely in the spotlight in a game with 8 to 13 players? sure.. but it wouldn't have helped :) {besides, it was fun to get to play the cavalry when I returned from whatever mission I was on with just the right item for the current crisis...DM starting getting annoyed at that habit :lol:} [/QUOTE]
