[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7762749, member: 6803664"] (shrugs) I'm well old enough to know what I enjoy/don't enjoy in my hobby. And I'm not going to waste time/effort DMing stuff I dislike. What'd be the point? I'd waste my game time & not have any fun. [SIZE=1]{of course if I were being paid ALOT of $.... I still wouldn't be having fun, but it wouldn't be a waste of time}[/SIZE] SO: When I'm DMing I'll run the following (D&D) systems: 1e, PF or 5e. That's it, that's your only D&D choices. In addition? I dislike psionics in D&D. They don't interest me & I've yet to read any set of their rules that I like. So they don't exist in games I run. This A) saves me from having to slog through rules for something I don't like B) saves YOU from me poorly DMing it. I also don't like games full of monster races as PCs. So I will STRONGLY encourage you to save that concept for someone else's game and simply say no to a great # of such concepts. I'm also not running political intrigue stuff. I'm not good at writing it, I won't enjoy running it, so it won't feature in what's to come (beyond as a general backdrop sometimes). These things are not negotiable. These things are known up-front. So if this is what the group wants? Then why are they asking me to DM? [/QUOTE]
