Have you considered talking to her in a mature, adult way about the fact that you have different preferences in elfgames? Maybe you could change some things up or at least come to a better understanding of where everyone's coming from.

OP here: I don't know what "elfgames" are

(Anonymous) 2013-05-21 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
My problem is all the others in the group love the way she does things and she's really more a friend by proxy (my best friend forever's friend) and I don't want to ruin it for the rest of the group by making waves. The last time "drama" came up in a game of hers (read: a couple of people didn't like the way it was going, not enough combat, "clues" were buried under too many OC chain, etc) the whole group exploded. So I am really nervous about suggesting she change just about everything about how she GM's just to make me happy. I know she'll take it as a personal attack and it isn't worth it. When she asks for suggestions I suggest game systems with which I am familiar that have a dice system in place. I am usually outvoted for a story set in a popular tv show universe with no real rules on how to do things.

I just don't like her style. There's nothing, objectively, wrong with it, I just don't like it.

I have another group I game with and enjoy greatly but I hang out with this group because of this new BFF. I like spending time with her, she likes spending time with this other her, and she likes GMing.

The simply solution seems like it would be to leave the group you aren't enjoying and do other things with your best friend. Just because your best friend enjoys gaming with them doesn't mean you have to be a part of that group, unless your BFF would take such offense to it that she ended your friendship or something.

If you really can't do the first option [which seems like it would be the best for all involved], maybe try suggesting that you'd like to GM a game sometime, then get everyone to try what you like? Hell, you could even try meeting them half-way and use one of the various story telling games out there, even if it's new to you too. Just don't suggest it in a 'Ugh, we need to do something different!' way [even if that's how you feel] but in more of a 'Hey, I really want to try this game out and since I can't find anyone else willing, I thought you guys might be up for it.'
