[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9508439, member: 7029930"] Two of my players were arguing over a mechanic earlier in the year. They both offered their perspectives at the table and once I had a clear understanding of each other's arguments and how I perceived it should work for the setting and basing it on consistency with similar mechanics I made a call for the table. Was the one player unhappy for a short while - probably. Maybe another time, like today I agreed with him. Earlier in the week I let the players propose refinements to our initiative system and the same player above did and I asked if anyone else had objections/suggestions. The group conversed for a short while and in the end we adopted his changes. There are other times where I myself will disagree with a player regarding a mechanic. I may hear him out, the table will offer input and a decision will be made. Sometimes I rule in favour of the player, sometimes not. I'm there to ensure the game is consistent for our table, perceived weaknesses in the system are fixed and that the game remains challenging (i.e. exciting/fun) Those in this thread that take issue with the above can be content that my table is pretty happy with their proudly Viking Hat wearing DM. Have I made mistakes along the way - for sure. I'm not perfect (far from it) and my table is ok with that. [/QUOTE]
