I don't want or need to juggle 200 things in my head when running a game. I do not find that fun. Its not that I can't do it, even after my brain damage and loss of IQ I still have a higher IQ than "average", I think I am still even one SD above average. So it isn't a lack of "being able", I simply don't want to. I want to focus on running the encounter, and keeping everything on track with the over all story goals, as well as keeping everything reasonably balanced so the Campaign doesn't run out of control.So I keep everything at a nice and comfortable level of play, so I have fun, and my players have fun. If I don't provide them with enough options then I am not, and never will be, the DM for them and they are free to run the game for our group or go find a group of their own.If they can't do one or the other, and still want to play in my game, then they better get over themselves and learn to enjoy how I run my games.Like others have mentioned, I put in far more time and effort into these games then any of my players, and even more than they collectively put into it. So I am certainly entitled to running my games however I find most enjoyable. If I don't run it "right", no one forces them to stay.</blockquote>
