[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2314270, member: 22622"] I'd have to go out and agree with you on this one. A good DM can make a great plot and still make sure that his players are building it. After every session I go back to my overall plot and look at how the pcs changed things then adjust it based on what's going on. I started my campaign as a good campaign and it was a "save the world type thing" . but after several sessions and watching the pcs decisions i realized that these guys might somewhat care about the world but honestly need personal reasons why they do the thnigs they do. so i went and reworked the plot so that the neutraility of the pcs became the focus. The overall plot continued and the pcs sometimes chose to side with good sometimes with bad and their decisions are always analyzed and the plot reworked so that they see their impact no matter how small. I recently just finished one of the biggest reworkings of the campaign. THe pcs went back in time. ONe of them managed to get away from the party and set in place things that will eventually change their history. A non flexable dm would probably try to railroad the pc from doing it but i took a couple of days to analyze his decisions, made him write me the letters that he was going to send, and then reworked the plot so that his changes made impacts both dire and good.
