[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7762400, member: 15700"] I don't know about DM entitlement, but your post sure screams of player entitlement. I'm sorry, but I disagree with you pretty strongly. The bottom line is that the DM puts in a LOT more work than the players. The trade off for that is that the players play in the DM's world, how the DM wants it. I will never change something of my game world because the players voted and wanted it differently. Sorry, but the simple answer is that if you as a player don't like it, then feel free to find another group or better yet, DM yourself. I'd LOVE to play in your game with your rules every once in a while so I can get a break. Your attitude that the DM is somehow a bad person by enforcing their rules in their own game world needs to die in fire. You are not entitled to change how a DM runs their game. End stop. Running a game how I want to run my world helps me as a DM be consistent for the players, because I know how the world works. Changing that via player whim is going to have a major impact on that consistency because it's much harder to remember everything, and will introduce incompatibilities later on down the road. That in no way makes me a tyrant. This myth that DMs just look for things to ban needs to die in fire as well. Just look at the responses in this thread. That's not what's happening. There is a reason why DMs ban things, and it's not just because they feel like it with no justification like entitled attitudes like yours is implying. *Edit* "Player choice" in the context you're talking about begins and ends when the player chooses to join the campaign. After that, after the player agrees to play in the DM's world, then that player agrees to play in the DM's world how the DM runs it, and does not have any entitlement to change how the DM runs his or her world. If the player doesn't agree, they can always find another group or DM themselves. [/QUOTE]
