[QUOTE="Sir Elton, post: 1462253, member: 14486"] Just remember, though, all rules in a [i]game[/i] like D&D are guidelines. So if you are complaining that you have to change the rules all the time, then it looks like you want a perfect system for your style without the work. If you want that, you might as well live your life without playing any RPGs. The whole idea behind D&D and other Roleplaying games is to make sure that the players are having fun. The rules are there to help you adjudicate the game, but the number 0 rule is that the DM trumps the rules. Not vice versa. You were playing the game [b]very well[/b] in the above example. It looks to me that you couldn't see that past your displeasure, unfortunately. It's not the rules that make the Game good nor bad. It's how it's played. You are a very good DM, judging from the above example. It's too bad that you couldn't recognize that you were playing D&D right all along. Do you get my point? [/QUOTE]
