Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 6396795" data-attributes="member: 9037">I guess you would hate my table then because the group I play with have always had the rule the DM has final say on rules in their game. Now in practice when I DM I will talk to my players after a session and I will listen but if I don't agree I am not going to be pressured into it by the threat of we will walk if you don't cave. In all the years no one has ever walked. As a player I give the DM the same respect and trust if I find that they can't be trusted then I walk. I will not tolerate long rules argument at the table during the session. It drags the game down.  It is not a power trip of I am god it is because I feel gaming as committee has never worked somebody has to have the last word. And since the DM is the one running the world and is considers the arbitrator or the referee then they should have the final say. If a DM is so bad at arbitration and is unfair then simply don't play with them as a DM I don't know how forcing him to be better by committee rule actually solves anything there is to much lack of trust. What is going to stop him from doing other questionable things? Are you going to as committee decide what monsters he runs how his NPCs behave what treasure you get?I had a rule conversation at my table a new player brought up that when he runs only named NPCs can crit that way orc 1 does not accidentally kill Frodo. I said no that with the use of action points and other measures it is very hard to actually die in my game so I was not going to do that. Several of my players did argue saying they liked it and if we ruled by majority then this would be a new rule. One that I was totally against because it was not needed in my game. Now he is running a game and it is his rule and I accept it because he is the DM.</blockquote>
