Hello Everyone I need some advice. 6 months ago my group finished up skull and shackles after 2 1/2 years of play. For most of them it was their longest reoccurring game and the first campaign ever seen to completion. A month after it ended we picked up with new characters in wrath of the righteous, run by one of my players who wanted to step up and let me have a turn at playing. We played for about 3 months, finishing book 1, before needing to take a break as life got in the way for all of us.
During that break we have run one shots in a number of systems and nearly everyone has DMed. Now at the present we are starting to talk about returning to Wrath of the Righteous. However there seems to be a disinterest from some players as they mention fondly their exploits in skull and shackles and compare my running of that game with the way in which the current DM does things. Conversation is always "remember x time or x thing in Shackles? Good times, wish we could go back."
The problem I'm having is this nostalgia is lessening the experience of our current game and undermines what our current dm is doing, he is being overshadowed by the memory of the game I ran. What can I do to encourage him as the DM and somewhat lessen the nostalgia for our old game and embolden the new one? Thanks in advance everyone. Sorry if my explanation was confusing.
