I just wanted to prevent any misunderstanding in that direction.I remember now, that you prefer a very specific kind of campaign, where the gameworld is one complicated puzzle. That's ok, and I agree that for such a campaign this doesn't work. However, if you want to DM such a campaign you already need very specific players that want the same and resign all control to the DM to make it happen. It works, but is very far removed from usual games and in no way what I was talking about.That player sure enough sound like a pain in the ass. But I wasn't talking about him, I mean the many people that are happier when they get what they like.Aye, but that's not your usual D&D game then.These are all examples of very tightly and narrowly focused games. You know, the kind of games you like to play and I sure as hell won't forbid you to play like that as long as you find players that want to do o as well.I need to clarify some of my position: I'm not saying I have found the path to ultimate DMing and happiness and everyone not following is wrong and a bad DM. All I'm saying is that in a game that is 1) based on no specific premise and 2) played in a diverse group is propably better of that way.I'm sorry I didn't state this earlier and sincerely appologize to everyone I might have offended.However, there is one thing I don't understand, I opposed the view that players have to be controlled and restricted. But then I came to see from the posts of those pulling for restricted games play with people that generally play the same style and happily restrict themself for the sake of the game they want. Why do you hold on to your right to forbid things to the players when you don't have to forbid anything? Why say you have to be able to restrict Bob when you don't play with Bob anyway?(no snark or rethoric question, I'm genuinely interested in your answers)</blockquote>
