[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7919846, member: 6785785"] I think if GM Force is a possibility....which in many games it is....then the question becomes when and how it's used. I think that in such games, trusting the GM to only use it in a principled way is a huge part of what can make such a game work or not for those players. I don't mind if the GM has a specific idea in mind for how he wants play to go. If he has the idea of "an adventure" in mind. I'm generally as okay with that as I might be with him selecting a setting or rules system when we decide to play a game. But I want to be able to engage with that adventure however I want to. Within reason, I suppose, but I'd kind of expect a good deal of leeway. Certainly more than most "adventure path" type adventures typically allow. I recently played in a game that was very much of the adventure path sort, and I had my character ask a question, and the GM said to me "so what you're asking is...." and reframed my question to match one of the "if the players ask this...." tidbits in the book. I really, [I]really[/I] hated that. [/QUOTE]
