What am I going to do? I'm going to only let someone DM for me if they are open to my input on the topics of what kinds of stories and scenarios I enjoy, what rules I'd like to play by, and when/how a DM should fudge.What are you going to do? Audit the DM's notes and monster stats? You're on the other side of the screen, and you have no idea what's going on on the DM's side. That's why the DM is the dungeon master, and you only pick someone you trust to run a good game, and whose rulings you're willing to follow.
What I am not going to do is sit at a table with a DM that exudes the attitude that some posters here seem to where-in because I am a player I am suppose to sit at the table and trust the DM to know how to run a game I'll enjoy without ever telling the DM what I'm into.
Here's an interesting thought: The players can share the "responsibilities" and help adjudicate the game, and fun can be had while doing so - some systems are even based around that idea.The players do not share dungeon master responsibilities and do not help adjudicate the game.
