Current campaign doesn't feel great (long and complicated)

[Tarmor]

Decisions: As a new player, coming up with a plan can be challenging. It's also hard to sugest something different over what the established players may come up with. If something is suggested that sounds good, push for it. Maybe even tell the DM, I'm doing "this" and go do it... push the others to do what was suggested rather than debate yet another option.

Recon: Is the recon really mandatory? Can't you just move in sometimes as a group and be cautious? When recon is planned out and acted on, was it always worthwhile? If not, maybe things can be done a bit differently. Does the rogue really have a much better stealth than everyone else in the group, or other abilities that make it much more effective for him to be on his own?

Suggestions: Talk to the DM. Tell him that you are finding the game really slow, and you don't like the single player getting all of the action, while the rest of you do nothing every session. He should be able to make changes that pick up the pace, or involve more of the group. He can also suggest to the group that they are spending/wasting too much time with discussion and encourage them to act.

It's important that everyone feels involved, and everyone has fun!
