[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4163331, member: 9037"] That is a very good comparison. I love to host parties. I get a thrill when my guests have a good time. I try and make my guests comfortable make sure there is food and drink that they like. When I DM I try and do the same I want my players to have a good time. But I don't think I would enjoy hosting so much if my guests trashed my home. Or if I had made a wonderful dinner and they decided they would rather order pizza instead. There is a certain standard of mannera expected of guests. The same goes with players. As I said before if you know your DM likes to run games a certain way you have two choices one don't play if it is not in the style you like go out and find a DM whose taste is more to your liking or two go along with the DM. I can't get over the entitlement issues a lot of players seem to have these days. That the game revolves around them and the DM is a glorified servent. If my players said to me we want less role playing and no consquences to our actions and make the game more hack n slash then I would have to say sorry that is not fun for me and I would not enjoy it and I don't think you would enjoy having me run a game I was not having fun in. As a player I have left games that were not to my taste I never expected the DM to change the game. [/QUOTE]
