[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8780700, member: 2629"] I don't know if that was your intent, but that came off snarky. Further, what you call 'being a DM' isn't something that all DMs do. There are a lot of DMs that 'play by the book'. They use published adventures or build using only established materials and mechanics. They might tell players that their PCs can't do something if there are no rules for it that they can find. They never make up monsters, spells, or other mechanics. Some are new to the game - but others have been doing it for decades. I noticed this a lot in DMs that started DMing during the 4E, as 4E had a more "pick which thing you want to do" feel. You might respond, "Well Matt Mercer clearly isn't that type of DM". I'd fully agree if you did. That is why I made the comment. That It is also why I felt I only needed to make a one line comment on the topic. However, some comments above it in the thread seemed to be worrying about the mechanics more than the story and were assuming that whatever was going to happen would be based upon the RAW. I think that Laudna's stiuation is going to be well off book, even when Matt was the central author on some of the mechanics she uses. [/QUOTE]
