yes and no. If it was "Man I don't want to run darksun but I will run a homebrew dessert post apocalyptic setting" that's cool but we have over the last 2 years clashed repeatedly over his 'my way or the highway' DMing style.
Our clash (and why I can't imagine what made him think jumping in to respond to me responding to
@reelo would be helpful at all) is almost always that I think the table as a whole needs to weigh things and make it work for the table, and he (and others on here) think the DM gets to be the final say, no matter what.
this strikes me as completely odd and is against all my experiences... in 1995 I made a game for my friends, 75% of games I ran since then all the way up to a month or so ago (last time I ran a campaign) that is what it is... we agree to being friends and playing BEFORE the setting and the game details...
now I have run at store's and con's where I wasn't friends at the start of the campaign with all my players, but by week 7 or 8 I was.
In my mind the idea that I would draw up a game idea (putting ANY amount of time into it) make up restrictions (no X or Y) then say "Only people who agree with this idea/world can play" is just ALIEN...
EVEN WORSE, I am imagining one of my friends coming to saterday night game (something we have played more or less the same group since 2003ish) and saying "here is my world" and when someone says "Cool I have this half orc idea" being told "No half orcs, no orcs" and when the question of "Why is there a reason" comes up the DM just saying "My game dude, play or don't I don't need a reason I said no orcs" doesn't even just feel ALEN, but aggressive and advasarial... what is the friend that wanted to play the half orc going to do, just quit hanging out with his friends on Saturdays?
TBH it almost seems like blackmail "if you want to spend your free time role playing with friends you have to do it MY way cause I am incharge"
