[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8270607, member: 53980"] I disagree that the GM is set up to be the bad guy. WOTC did a survey and found that most players prefer whole wheat bread to rye. You prefer rye. You seem to want that WOTC makes all of their sandwiches out of rye, that way your players will be forced to eat it, and if you choose to let them have a slice of whole wheat they'll be thrilled with you. Then this Ravenloft supplement comes out with all of their sandwiches made from pumpernickel, and now your players are happy that instead of that they get to eat rye. I'm from a school of DMing where if players prefer whole wheat, I let them eat whole wheat. I don't think it's reasonable to expect WOTC to force feed people rye, when most people want whole wheat. From both a business and a design perspective that makes zero sense. I understand why you want it, but even that doesn't really make much sense from my perspective. [/QUOTE]
