[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9465552, member: 6801845"] No it doesn't, no matter on how much you repeat this. It comes down to "Not every DM is going to work for every player." Huge difference. Well, I don't allow entitled players who think they can do whatever they want either. If I say I don't allow [insert species, class, playstyle here] and a person insists on bringing it anyway, I'm not the right DM for them. DMs should be up front and open about what kind of game they run and, if they can't find players, they should then reconsider what kind of game they run. If a person shows up to a game that was advertised as a gritty low magic campaign and wants to play a high magic fast adventure game, that's not on the DM. But "compromise" always seems to really mean "do whatever the players want" even in cases where the DM told you before you ever joined what their expectations are. In my experience if a DM can't find players it's because their either really bad at it or because they just aren't enthusiastic about the game. Compromise won't help in either case. I work with my players all the time to ensure they're running the type of character they want, and listen to their ideas. But sometimes the answer is "no". [/QUOTE]
