Message: <blockquote data-quote="EzekielRaiden" data-source="post: 9506766" data-attributes="member: 6790260">"You don't get to have an opinion unless you're a DM yourself" is not, and has never been, a valid argument.More importantly? Becoming a DM has made me less sympathetic with the Viking Hat, not more. I have become even more convinced than I ever was before that the first and foremost obligation of the DM is to earn their players' enthusiasm, and that the one and only way to successfully do that in the long term is to genuinely, deeply care about what your players want, to work together so that you collectively bring about things they value, and to always, always be humble and circumspect about what you're contributing to the experience.The Viking Hat couldn't be further from my thoughts when I'm DMing. It would 100% guaranteed lead to disaster.</blockquote>
