[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9466697, member: 6684958"] This just moves the definition of the word 'share' to be 'anything'. I don't know of any RPG that works this way... The player does not bring a character for the DM. And the DM says you can play in my sandbox, but you must follow my rules...like don't ruin or destroy it. I don't think it fits at all. The players don't come over to 'play' in the DMs game world like a sandbox. The players don't just sit there and 'play by themselves' and 'do whatever they want'. I own a game room....built it myself..in my one barn. I own it and everything in it. I do invite people over to use it, like say play pool. It's a stretch and miss wording to say I "share" my game room and pool table. And they bring nothing but themselves. Even if they bring their lucky cue, we don't 'share' it. It's like I own and maintain a large in ground pool. Some other guy brings over a foam ball we can toss around in the pool and play a game. And you'd say we are "sharing" the game. Sure...I have the massive expensive pool....and the other guy has a $5 foam ball......that is not even close to being equal. Worse....it is like what often happens in a work place....one person does 99% of the work, while four others each do way less then 1%.....oh, but sure it is a "team effort" as their are five workers "sharing" all the work.
