[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5886990, member: 22779"] Now that's fair. I've become more and more comfortable handing more and more control over to the players as I've gotten older. Makes the game a lot more fun to DM, for me, when the players can challenge me in unexpected ways. If the players are limited to what their characters can do, it's not too difficult to predict what most players are going to do. OTOH, if the players can actually rewrite the scenario a little, it leads to better experiences all the way around. As a player, I can directly impose what I want in the game onto everyone else, just like a DM does, although to a much reduced degree. As a DM, the players get to directly tell me what kind of game they want without me having to play pin the tail on the preference. Again, totally for me. NOT trying to say this is universal. :p [/QUOTE]
