[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4646056, member: 40961"] I didn't directly respond to the post because responding to the post is impossible. Its too theoretical and abstract. In general, if the players are having fun the DM should be having fun because apparently he has successfully created a fun campaign that entertains the players at his table. He succeeded! He won Dungeons and Dragons! What else does he want? If a DM finds himself in a position where his "right to have fun" is in direct conflict with his players' "right to have fun," something has gone seriously wrong and everyone should probably quit playing D&D and go home. I really mean that- no one has an obligation to DM, and no one has an obligation to play. If there's a genuine conflict, no one can be deemed to have a "lesser" right to have fun, and thereby be obliged to sit at the table and not enjoy themselves in order to facilitate someone else's "greater" right to have fun. The idea itself is ridiculous. Fortunately, its also extremely unlikely to occur if the group wasn't disfunctional to begin with. [/QUOTE]
