Message: <blockquote data-quote="ryard" data-source="post: 1140129" data-attributes="member: 14450">This is very true.  So why complicate things with even MORE random stuff to keep track of.I don't understand why this discussion is strange.  In our group, the DM works WITH the players.  In some of the other campaigns going on the DM seems to be working AGAINST the players.  What I find it strange is that some people who think there's an antagonism between player and DM in our group seem to be the same ones extolling the virtues of playing gotchas with made up items and surprises...and then hiding behind a curtain of "imagination" and "fun."  Sounds to me like ours is the ONLY group that works together to play and have fun instead of in opposition.So what the heck do these groups do if they have rotating DMs?  One guy decides that "x" is ok, then two weeks later, another guy takes over, and "x" is right out..."y" is the correct interpretation.Wow.  What a ridiculously snobbish thing to say.  I don't recall ever saying it's a matter of trust...I'll have to look back and see.  It's not a matter of not trusting the DM, it's a matter of being human and making mistakes.  DMs are, you know.  Human.And you are wrong.  For the third time, I've always liked to use third-party sources, but the sentiment in the group is generally that it's not worth the hassle.  Accusing me of sniping with the same breath you snipe at me?  Got a black kettle for you.</blockquote>
