But lately another member of my group took over DM and they cant concentrate on whats going on. They are either totally out of it or being a control freak. I have talked to him about it, but it keeps happening. I dont know what to do? :surrender
Jagyr Ebonwood 01-02-05, 02:31 PM	Is he new to DMing? Maybe you could offer to co-DM and help him learn the ropes while he gets used to processing all the information that DMs have to.
gnomedaddy 01-02-05, 02:40 PM	Yeah, he's pretty new. I dont know how he would take me helping him thought. :fight!:

Nicholas the Paladin 01-02-05, 03:27 PM	It's good that you talked about it and keep on doing that. But emphasise on 'helping' the guy, he just needs some experience. Maybe he eventually proves not the right guy for the job, but give him a fair chance.
