[QUOTE="ForeverSlayer, post: 5560143, member: 91812"] It is not an illusion but a fact. You are assuming that everyone will agree on everything but the final word is that of the DM. Here is the kicker. Let's say you have 5 player's and 1 DM. Well the odds are greater that the game will tumble due to the DM leaving that say one or two player's and you are assuming the player's will agree with their fellow gamer that isn't always true. I think people are trying to minimize the role of the DM and paint that person out to be just the guy that runs the monsters and does the NPC voices. D&D and most all other RPG's have always given the DM the final say so because everyone does not agree, period. I also think people forget that the game is about the DM having fun as well as the player's. Being a player doesn't give you more authority because you can turn around and leave and the play "without player's there is no game card" and the same can be said for the DM. Like I said eariler, if the DM leaves then the game cries to a halt. It's actually easier to find player's than it is to find DM's. [/QUOTE]
