[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8120311, member: 7024481"] This other discussion going on is very odd. If the guy who spent the time making a game for you to play has rules that you don't like leave. Don't whine don't feel like he or she doesn't respect you just go and be happy somewhere else. It has generally been my experience since 1st ed that the narcissistic player who wants whatever they want to hell with the story is also the person that will leave as soon as their actions have consequences. And good riddance. When I DM I'm pretty flexible I've allowed some weird stuff n my games but when I draw a line and say no its no. I'm not going to have a long pointless argument. I'd rather stop the game and find a player who can have fun without being a pain in the...... Most good games have rules and restrictions. They players should have agency but that doesn't mean they get to decide the setting. My response to anyone that has a problem with that uweplay video games. Do you think movie directors get your buy in before they make the movie? Why would someone else get buy in in how I set up my game? [/QUOTE]
