[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3456720, member: 2067"] No one, but it's an option you left out. Well, the usual scenario I've seen is similar to this: you gathered everyone over in Kathy's basement for a game of D&D, assuming Ryan would run his 7th sea adventure. Todd mentions he'd like to play a Warforged Ninja. Then Bob, Billy, and Kathy all pipe up with their ideas. Ryan says "Hm...doesn't sound like a 7th sea game anymore." Todd says "Okay, let me DM a game with warforged ninjae in it!" Ryan says "sure" and creates a character to play in Todd's game. Ryan, Todd, Bob, Billy, and Kathy all spend their night playing Todd's Tokyo Sewers campaign. Next week comes, everyone gathers in Kathy's basement again. Ryan's game was fun, but the only thing the group has been talking about for the past week was how awesome Todd's game was. Even Ryan. 7th Sea goes bye-bye, the group adopts Tokyo Sewers, and life is joyful for all. At least, until Todd's game gets old and people want to jump into 7th Sea again, or maybe they just saw this new Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure they want to play in D&D, or maybe Kathy has been working really hard on her Mecha vs. Kaiju T20 campaign, or whatever. I mean, Ryan could be a jerk and say "Unless we're playing MY 7th Sea game, I'm leaving and finding someone who will!" but everyone here is friends and they game as much to hang out together as to role play. It's just about the only time all five of them are together for a night. Who would Ryan play with? Would he find another group and slot them into his busy schedule on "game night" ignoring his four other friends? Just because of a penchant for flamboyant musketeers over ninja mutants and robots? Ryan could also be a jerk and say "We're all playing my 7th sea game because that's the reason we're all here and if you want to play your Tokyo Sewers you can do it some other time, but this time it's for my 7th Sea game." But then he's pretty much ignoring what the rest of the group wants. And maybe they'll go along with it to humor him, because it's important to him, because they're friends with him, but Billy will always press for material from the Book of Erotic Fantasy. This, of course, is an assumption about how a gaming group is composed, but for busy adults, this seems to be *the* way it's composed. [/QUOTE]
