To answer Yasraena: He's not exactly my best friend, but he's been letting me borrow game materials and I'm trying to be understanding (I don't really think he's had a lot of experience). I think my other reason (the best and more important of the two) is that I know some of the people involved, and I want them to enjoy their first D&D game-
To answer Zemd: I only know the opinion of two people. They understand that it's time consuming, but they also have the feeling that he's a bad DM. They're a bit... leery(sp)(I'm not sure if it's the right word there)?

The more I read your replies, LS, the more I think YOU should be running this game. You have the mentality that all good DMs should have, the most important being that you want your players to have fun.

And that was indeed the right word. I'd be very leery about playing in his game from what you've said so far.

Just want to say "Thank You!" To everyone that posted here with their great advice-

Well, the numbers are in! The envelope please....
I've decided. I'll make the keep for it, but I'm going to 'bow out' (I think that's the expression) after that- well and after I make copies of the keep. Maybe I'll use them someday. I just don't feel right with the game. I guess I'll have to find my own group locally to try and start DMing on my own. Once again, thanks fellow scribes!

Yes, definitely keep us up to date LS. I'd really like to hear how your eventual game turns out!

(zemd, yes. Right expression.)

You definitely made the right choice. By continuing to help him run his game you are, in the eyes of his players, supporting his style of game play.

Give some thought to running your own game and maybe invite one of your co-workers that plays in his game to join your game as well. Hopefully your counter-example will give them hope that role playing can be a lot of fun with out all the atrocities. Just don't bash this other DM and let your game speak for itself.
