[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9508042, member: 6801845"] I think it's hubris(?) to claim that you can declare every DM that runs their game with slightly different style than what you want as "bad". There are plenty of DMs out there that run games I'm not interested in. They would be bad DMs for me, they are not bad DMs. Is a DM "bad" because they're running a campaign in Dark Sun and don't allow gnomes? We were all inexperienced at one time or other. No DM is perfect and not all DMs run games you want to play. Once again "they don't run the game I want it run so they're bad". What can I say. I disagree with pretty much everything you've stated. But it's insulting to say that just because a DM runs a game you don't like that they will fall back on undermining, deception and deniability. Whether you intend it or not you come off as a toxic player because every description of a DM that does something you don't like is bad, harmful, avoiding accountability. Different DMs will have different preferences and styles. No DM can be for everyone and I will never, ever, call a DM bad simply because they run a game I don't want to be part of. [/QUOTE]
