[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9705407, member: 93670"] The bolded [I]"So I guess this particular DM didn't want to spend any extra money on the campaign[/I]." Bit comes off rather judgemental of the GM and completely overlooks the fact that it could apply equally to any of the players who have spent nothing but could have. Change it to almost anything else and it becomes stark just how bad the player entitlement carried by it is. For example.... I have a [I]very[/I] well stocked full bar on the wall and regularly make cocktails when hosting games at my place when I'm the gm [I]and[/I] when im a player. I can't imagine anything but people staring at me with their jaws dropped if I went to a game at someone else's place and said something like "[I]guess [bob] doesn't want to spend any extra money on the game for cocktails[/I]". It's always been common that the gm buys more books than their players, but that's been getting taken to the extreme in recent years. Now it's almost the [I]expectation[/I] for many that the GM bankroll everyone's participation in a shared hobby as the default obligation of being the GM. [/QUOTE]
