[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8165829, member: 6855114"] Well, I have seen such campaigns too from other DMs and they can be quite unsettling for the more... "traditionals"? DMs... When everyone at the table are ready to accept this type of campaign. It can quite fun from what I heard. These are not my style but what suits some might not suit others. What is important, is that everyone is aware of what the campaign will look like. When you do not expect something like this, it can lead to what you experienced. Not everyone wants to limit themselves to one role but if you do not like to co-DM, then explain it to the player. I am not the co-DM type either. I hate it up to a certain point and within certain limits. If these are accepted, good. If the player wants to add to my campaign to get any advantages for his/her character; it will be tough luck for that player. It will not work. Usually, if someone wants to add to my campaign. 1) No advantage to current characters or future characters in the current campaign. 2) Fully Word compatible. And I must have that file (obviously). 3) Must respect the tone of the campaign (easier said than done, believe me). 4) Must not introduce new races/classes/gods unless I already asked for these. With these limitations, I do not often see players willing to do worldbuilding with me. But I do see some trying their hands at it. [/QUOTE]
