[QUOTE="MindWanderer, post: 4225110, member: 64938"] Wait, what?

And you're only one person at the table. If your players like something, then give it to them! I'm sure you can still come up with a campaign which, though it's not your beloved brainchild, will still be fun for all involved. You exhort your players to give a low-magic game a chance. Why don't you give a normal-magic game a chance? In fact, I bet you've done so in the past, and enjoyed it. You're probably looking for a change, bot because you disliked normal magic campaigns, but because you want to try something new. If that's correct, then change something else--something that will allow your players to have as much fun as you do. Anytime DM fun and player fun becomes a trade-off, you have a dysfunction on a deeper level that needs to be addressed. Figure it out before you torture each other. [/QUOTE]
