So for years now I've been the hardest working person in the gaming group. Mostly letting the others ride my coat tails and whine. It's not fair that I bothered to read the rules. It's not fair that I talked my way into fixing an in game problem and got something out of it. That kind of thing.
From there is moves onto openly stealing my ideas. I want a flying mount that can do some stuff, suddenly new characters show up with the almost exact mount I had been talking about. NPCs, yeah, maybe a way to get me what I was looking for. PCs just being dicks.
I talked about the business I worked out in the previous post. All kinds of problems, from people being pissed that I had money to some how it was wrong that my character started broke was now the richest.
This stuff was also a problem in D&D given that I handled group inventory. While I was handing out +5 weapons as we found them, the +4 weapons and equipment that I had used since level 12 where a problem at level 23.
Now the GM has made it clear that he will not let me do anything big. Even if we do go back to the Marvel game.
This pisses me off as I'm a firm believer in getting rewarded for hard work. Not for floating along and just demanding things like petulant children. I really don't understand the point of playing if you can't win something. It's way to every one gets a trophy for me.
Maybe I'll come to terms with this but one of the problems is we are playing Exalted now and Exalted is so SJW friendly that it doesn't have ways to reward players. Every one comes out equal for the most part. Depending on if you made all the games.
It's a crazy world and I'm not sure that gaming is really worth it any more.
