A Rewrite

[nana_rena]

So I have been having major problems with my post grad application. Mostly because it just seemed too lax and convoluted somehow. It seemed like I was using a paragraph to say something that could have been said in one sentence. In other words, I wanted to be more concise and to the point. Something that the application was seriously lacking

I don't know whether he is a good GM or not. Okay that's not true, he sounds pretty crappy GM to me but I try to be charitable. Perhaps he is a fine GM for a certain type of game, there are people who enjoy it when at the beginning of a fight scene you break out rule books and six hours later a minute of game time has passed. But he is definitely not a good match for you. I think it's sad that you have to walk on eggshells and can't even voice criticism in fear of upsetting him. And sounds like the other players aren't happy either so it isn't just you.

If I were you I'd quit the game. Do you really need that shit? If you really are an awful player like you say but want to keep gaming, then you need a game that lets you grow and improve. Not every type of game suit everyone and you don't have to punish yourself by sticking to a game you don't enjoy.

Oh, and no wonder you have lost confidence as a player if all people do is belittle you and tell you how much you suck, no matter how constructively. (And I bet your GM wouldn't know constructive if it bit his ass.) Find a game that fits your style and that you enjoy and then start developing as a player.

I have decided that when my character dies I'll quit the game. I don't know how long that will be because although it does seem that the GM is happy to have us beaten to an inch of our lives, but does not kill us. There is always an NPC that saves the day and we survive just barely.

I prefer immersive character driven games and this Gurps one just seems to be about all the minuses you get from just about anything, which bores me. I am too timid to tell the GM straight off that I don't want to continue, but when my character dies I'll quit.
