[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6396340, member: 6698278"] I don't believe the game benefits from a committee. If the DM is constantly getting overruled then he should find another group that is more compatible with his approach. If he is only very rarely getting overruled then the players should stop being jerks and let the DM be the DM. Most of my responses here though are pretty hypothetical. I've got a long established reputation and I can either assume those who really dislike my approach never ask to play or such people don't exist in my area. I do know I have more players wanting to play than I have spots for them. I could run a game every night of the week. Maybe that is a little hyperbolic but not much. I strongly advocate DMs learn the style they are good at and practice it with skill. If they do so then they will find players if there area is big enough to support a reasonable cross section of people. I do not though believe except in the rarest of circumstances that DMs should conform themselves to groups. Doing so makes the game less fun for the DM and as a result less fun for the players. An unmotivated DM is a killjoy for any group. [/QUOTE]
