[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2583782, member: 12037"] So if the first individual thinks the others are obligated to enjoy his game, he is looking for slaves. But, neither of those statements make any difference whatsoever. All you seem to be doing is making an emotional plea to show that the DM's job is so hard and the players are lucky to have someone willing to do all this for them that they should agree to play by his rules. I disagree, and I'm a DM. I DM because I enjoy it. I don't DM because I want to control the game, or because I think its the only way to play the game the way I see fit. If someone else runs a game, they will ask me what I want, I will give input, and we will find a compromise. Disproportionate amount of work makes no difference. One member of the group has more work because he chooses to. If he doesn't want the extra work, then he shouldn't DM, and I have no sympathy for him if he feels that he is being wronged because the players won't do as he wants. [/QUOTE]
