[QUOTE="Sundragon2012, post: 2587058, member: 7624"] This is instinctively silly. The fact is that DMs are DMs because we enjoy it and we also DM the kinds of game we enjoy. No DM is going to invest hours and hours into making a setting come alive if he isn't emotionally attached to it. No one in my group wants to DM in my circle because after doing it for 19yrs they respect my rulings and my concepts. None of the others in my circle have any real DMing experience and they keep coming back because they like my style. Even though I am strict in regards to internal consistancy they always have a good time. However, what they can go to have a "good time" is within the firm boundaries of the setting I am running. Players can "vote with their feet" if they want to run dungeon crawls and create their own campaigns. I am not holding anyone through eldritch magic to my table. No one leaves because they know me and trust me implicitly regarding the game because I have proven myself over the years to be fair whether they disagree with me or not. Chris [/QUOTE]
