One that seems to get a lot of hits is my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rpggm.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/17\/handling-problem-players\/\">Handling Problem Players<\/a> post. Every GM has had at least one player that&#8217;s made her GMing life difficult.<\/p>\n<p>But the problem can go both ways. Every player that&#8217;s been playing for awhile can find at least one horror story about a bad GM. So, players, what five things would you like your GM to know about either players in general or you as a player specifically? What things should GMs do differently than you&#8217;re currently experiencing? If I were to write a book for GMs about players, what five things should be included?
