[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7572558, member: 23751"] Personally, I don't want everything to relate with specific things that we want for a few reason. The first of which it's unreasonable to think that everything that comes up for the PCs is going to somehow relate to their desires. For me that's too unrealistic and detracts from my enjoyment of the game. For you, that appears to be what you look for. Different strokes for different folks. If something is very important to my PC, I'm going to find a way to make it happen in the game. Second, there are tons of things that interest me and I'm not going to remember them all. Many of the things the DM comes up with will be interesting to me anyway, and that's really cool. It's nice to be surprised with interesting things. Well, it's not a Strawman, because it has nothing to do with your argument. It was a response to [MENTION=16814]Ovinomancer[/MENTION] who tried to falsely attribute my success at pursuing the goals of my PCs as coming from DMs who "align with my expectations," rather than just from gameplay. My response wasn't to you or about you in any way. :) [/QUOTE]
