Again, playstyle preferences. Players and DMs enjoy different degrees of group world building. From entirely collaborative shared world...

Interesting. My goals as a player are entirely different from yours. I don't want to "tell my story about my character." (If I wanted to...

Just about every GM in this thread who said that they curated their setting or similar has at least one post noting how doing so allows...
