[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8162053, member: 6779196"] Part of my enjoyment of the activity is in the worldbuilding. I’m not unwilling to compromise, but there needs to be a give and take. You want me to DM, you want to play in the setting I’ve built, you want to play a Genasi, [I]and[/I] you want to play in the material plane, and you aren’t willing to work with me to figure out why your character is there? And somehow [I]I’m[/I] the one who’s being unreasonable I certainly wouldn’t force the group to play in a setting they aren’t interested in. If they don’t like my setting, we can do something else. But it would be less work to find a different group of players than to create a new setting. And frankly, I’d rather find people to game with whose interests are more closely aligned with my own than run a game in a setting [I]I[/I] don’t find interesting. My homebrew setting certainly isn’t the only setting I find interesting, but I’m guessing of the table is so opposed to it, we’re not super likely to land on a setting we do all agree on. That’s because most people don’t tend to stick with groups who don’t share their interests for long. If there’s a regular need for anybody to be overruling anybody, the group will probably end up breaking up in short order. [/QUOTE]
