[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 4644679, member: 2673"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4643814] Rant -- GM Control, Taking it Too Far? [/url] I really disagree with this attitude. I run games because I enjoy running them, simple as that. I don't expect nor do I deserve to control the game just because I did prep work. If you don't enjoy DMing, then let someone else do it. If no one enjoys it, play a board game or something. Or play a game someone does enjoy running. The players should have an equal say in the nature, tone, and events in the game. I don't, and the people I play with don't show up for a game to have a DM show off his delicately crafted campaign setting. No one cares. They want to adventure, play out their character's issues and goals, and have some fun. If your setting enhances that, then good! If not, then abandon it. But in no case should you lord over the other players because of your choice of how to spend your free time. 4e with a DDI subscription can require very little in the way of prep time. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
