[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 3986726, member: 386"] I agree with buzz. ;) I think we agree, we're just using different language. The DM has to walk a tightrope, because he needs to challenge the players, but he can't challenge them too much, and he can't use everything at his disposal to challenge them or else there would be no game. (Just as you say.) Burning Empires (which I am scheduled to play tonight after too long a layoff!) strictly limits the resources the GM has - the number of scenes I can set up and even the number of rolls I can make. It's a different take on things, and it fits me well. But I'm the type of DM who, when running a module, will only use the resources the NPCs have within the module. I Limit my authority so I can take off the gloves. [/QUOTE]
