[QUOTE="Zandy, post: 1605566, member: 4906"] Wow. This is a scary statement. Although I think his players are being goofy, and are PROBABLY playing around, you have hit upon the biggest problem in most groups, IMHO. The DM's "job" and responsibility is to create a game that his/her players will enjoy. If a DM is doing tons of work BEFORE running an idea past the group, he deserves to get what is thrown back at him. I've been on the receiving end of games that a DM REALLY wanted to do, and that none of us wanted, and yet he insisted. The campaigns haven't lasted too long. I respectfully hope that you don't actually DM in this manner. And anyone out there who DOES make a game without consulting his players first, may I humbly point out the error of your ways; talk to your players, find out what they want, and give it to them. This doesn't mean that you can't make the game of your own style and format, but honestly, that is secondary to the player's wants and needs. Remember, the players are the customers, and you can't DM if you don't have them. [/QUOTE]
