😝:rolleyes:Yes? you called?∆:rolleyes:😝 I noticed that you seem to accuse but decline to provide an example. Do better and use those rolling eyes to give some examples perhaps? *∆ that's sarcasm if it's not clear.

I don't doubt this, but I think it's a safe assumption that most (,if not all) of those were monsters played with a Level Adjustment By WHO. Show us the specific posts and we can almost certainly show you what is misinterpreted.

... You appear to have confused players playing mortal player characters with players personally acting as high deific ranked (over)gods and presented it as the bar dividing a gm caring about player [desires] vrs players as passive spectators toiling under some form of "uncaring" overlord...

You say that as if it was not already answered many times by multiple posters. Adding a tortle to a world they do not fit into causes changes and disruptions that may not be as simple or localized as "sure you can play a kobold/goblin/gnoll/etc bud, but don't forget those are all considered a...

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 their players to make significant changes in the world through their actions in play. I once heard a like phrase "you can do anything, you just need to figure...

Apparently if FR can have boba tea with a side of burgers tacos sushi onigiri shrimp cocktail and croissants all at one table I'm sure that someone in eberron can figure out how to add a turntable to a dome oven. Where else would you cook a nice tortle meal when splurging for something a bit...

Probably not. I have the same experience here in Palm Beach county Florida and don't think it's any "exceptionally good" gming given that I observe similar enjoyment of GM setting maintenance from players at other nearby tables in open games. I think that the disdain more likely says...

Except in the tortle quagmire the player has consistently without refused to make use of that agency after the gm says why the initial tortle is rejected alongside suggestions about things that could change that Examples have been the animism tribe in one game and being from Droaam in a...

You are looking too hard to find compromise by insisting that the only people who have consistently talked about working with players when possible to find some workable compromise. That collapses when faced with the insistence that no compromise is possible because it's not called a tortle...

I think we probably agree on quite a bit, but that bold bit feels a bit misleading in its brevity if the reader dies not already grok∆ the reason why. This thread has had dozens of pages debating over if a gm is even allowed to say no and if it's reasonable to call giving a player the exact...

That's not what the post was saying. The difference between the act of curating a setting and the desire to do so out of GM preference is not unclear, but 2491 didn't leave things there. Between the two you included this .that right there sounds a lot like an effort to declare one preference...

I just did by asking the difference ans pointing that out. The onus is on you to explain how it is not the case or explain the difference better. I'm not even the only poster to point out that the original pair of "subtly different" phrases seem indistinguishable.

That sounds an awful lot like saying one personal preference is superior to the other in the context of 2452/2464. The gm could say that assessment on why they choose to engage in strict setting citation is irrelevant because they find the result allows them to more easily and believably...

Other than the inclusion of a couple more words I'm not seeing a difference beyond two slightly different wording for the same basic concept. Can you elaborate on what the subtle difference is between the two in a way that sheds more detail/clarity on the duffi?

I mostly agree with @AlViking 's quoted comment & your own, but that's part of why it's so important for players to willingly & proactively work with the gm to (re)shape a character's narrative so that it fits the setting being used region where the game is set or whatever. Using the halfling...
