[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8695525, member: 6684958"] I think I see the disconnect. You view the game is open, whatever happens is fine and fun. It's a fine way to run a game. Nothing like my game, however..... Players show up on time, no excuses. If anything less then your house exploding happens, you are expected to be at the game. If not, you won't be invited back. Players show up ready to play. They have everything they need to play, and they want to play the game. When the game starts, players must focus only on the game. Game play will be fast, focused and intense. I want to get to intense scenes of drama, comedy, action, adventure and combat, all with in a detailed heavy story with a plot(s). Players must pay attention and engage in game play. Infamous Three Second Rule: Any time during the game when we switch from role playing to roll playing, such as an action, adventure or combat scene, the player has three seconds to state their action. If they don't, their character stands in place confused for the round(and often a target in combat). You must play the agreed upon adventure. It's a vote, majority rules. If you really don't like the vote: LEAVE. No one, least of all me, wants you slogging along "just so you can play". And, yea, no side stuff: you agreed to go on the adventure, remember? There are times (often AFTER the main adventure segment of the night) that the DM will call for Free Time, and the players may vote for Free Time. Otherwise you may NOT abandon the adventure and group to go off and do a solo thing like "pretend to drink in a tavern". If you really feel that your character "must go", then just leave the game. So, you see a slight difference in our two games. [/QUOTE]
