RPG.Net Thread of the Week: Lousy Players and Lousy GMs

Posted by Bryant on April 6, 2005 at 07:04 PM

A little while back, Greg Stolze opened a pair of threads to collect opinions on what makes a lousy player and what makes a lousy GM. He has compiled the results and posted them. He also added his own thoughts on how to overcome some of the problems.

I'm amused that insufficient detail/preparation and railroading were equally disliked. I know they're not the same thing, but I still got a chuckle out of the juxtaposition. Also: I nodded my head a lot when one of the most common player complaints turned out to be apathy and rules laziness.

We're such slackers. I got a Dogs in the Vineyard actual play post sometime today, though!
