[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8695484, member: 6684958"] I disagree. I have met too many bad players. I'm talking about a social game where four people want to go on an adventure to slay a dragon, and that lone fifth player wants to ruin the whole game for all of us with his horseshoes. I force a lot to get a good game. It is just the way it is. Well, if I, as the Railroading DM, do anything the players don't like it is automatically wrong according to you. But you are free to do whatever you like, even things the players don't like, if you can toss out some word salad defense. Maybe examples: The group passes through a town on the trail of someone. Annoying player wants to ruin the game with the "hey can we stop at the tavern and pretend to drink for the rest of the night?" My Railroad: No, tavern is closed for repairs, on with the adventure. Badwrong fun, right? Your Word Salad: No, the tavern is closed as they had a big bar fight last night. Lots to clean up. And when the player accepts your lie with a nod that is all good. [/QUOTE]
