[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8165808, member: 6801845"] When it comes to players that "push" a lot of times it's also just a matter of expectations and theme. Take the guy who wanted to have lunch with a god because he was a mid level cleric. After we moved, he tried DMing for a while and based on updates from the group (before it fell apart) it was quite the gonzo campaign with a lot of crazy stuff. Which, if the whole group is in on it and having fun could be cool. But my campaign and all my other players were into a more grounded campaign style (for D&D). I don't even think he ever even understood that he was pushing the boundaries, he just thought that it was the way it [I]should[/I] work and never accepted the limitations. Add in an assertive personality and there were just times we had to take a hard line with the guy because otherwise he just kept pushing. Which is just to say there's a whole spectrum of players, from people who just want to roll some dice to those that feel entitled to a co-DM position because they think their ideas should override everyone else's ideas and opinions.
