[QUOTE="pming, post: 7425553, member: 45197"] Hiya! As per the OP, [MENTION=88539]LowKey[/MENTION] 13, ...I'm mostly on-board with your thinking on this. Mostly. If I was DM'ing for a couple of new people, or a special one-off "guest DM appearance" for another group or event or something, then I'd be more willing to go the polling route. But I gathered from the OP post that a "special one-off" wasn't considered simply because it isn't really a "campaign". When my and my group are going to start something new I will usually end the last session of whatever we were playing with "So, what do we want to play next?". This is the genre question. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Super Hero, Apocalyptic. Once we decide, we narrow down to a specific game (D&D 5th, Star Frontiers, Cthulhu, SUPERS!, Zombocalypse! [my own zombie apocalypse setting using either Masterbook or Top Secret/SI; usually the former as of late]. After that gets decided, THEN we move on to any specific "style" or "location". In the case of "D&D", this is the "campaign world", mostly. When we get to the point of playing a 5e D&D campaign and a setting is being decided, I will usually give two, maybe three of my "preferences" to DM. Say, "Greyhawk, Aereth, or Genericka" (yes, "Genericka"...random world I created 'on the fly' when we played our first 'real' 5e campaign; [url]https://world-of-genericka.obsidianportal.com/[/url] ...not a lot there, but still...). But if the players all REALLY want to play a game set in, say The Iron Kingdoms, I'd be up for it. That gives me a week, sometimes two, to "get into" whatever setting/campaign/game we decided on. So, as I said..."I mostly agree with Lowkey13 on this". Mostly. TL;DR For strangers or people I haven't gamed with much...I'll poll. For friends and my normal group, I give choices of things I'd be into DM'ing and we choose together (I veto ones I'm just not interested in at the time, however). ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
