[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5147865, member: 957"] Why do people who want least common denominator games games keep using words like "have to" and "every" and "always"? Problem 1: No one is saying that all DM's want to be. They are saying that games that presume a higher standard of DM have benefits. Those benefits are completely optional and you are welcome to play easier games if the reward exceeds the cost. Problem 2: I jumped back into the thread when Garthanos said: To which I specifically asked if he meant that as an absolute, in which case he is the one trying to force all DMs into the same constraints. (in other words *HE* is doing what you are accusing others of doing) I also asked if he felt there was a boundary at which point his claim stops being true, and, if so, where is it. I've yet to see an answer to that question from anyone. But the disconnect when one says: "fine, play your game your way, I want more" and someone else replies: "Why should everyone have to pay your way?" is boggling. [/QUOTE]
