[QUOTE="jim pinto, post: 4714105, member: 17619"] To use your logic, art galleries have dress codes. More importantly, most people that show up for opening night of an art exhibit are vested in art. They might actually even buy a painting. If the PCs are paying me for my time, I'll gladly let them urinate on the couch. I've made is abundently clear what I mean by this. I don't need to define it any more. When you crap on the GM's world, you crap on the GM. If it doesn't bother you that someone ruined your painting, then congratulations. You are the perfect blend of creative GM and patient sage. I doubt everyone would agree 100% with you about what is acceptable and what is not. All that aside, the THRUST of my post was about a different way to play D&D, not to judge people who aren't playing well. To take umbrage with my original post, suggests that I didn't write a very good first and second post. I clearly stated I didn't want to have THIS kind of debate about it, but I didn't state what I actually DID want. Then it sounds to me as though this thread has nothing to offer you. Without sounding rude or anything, I've appreciated your input, but I don't see how it offers anything to the thread other than that fact that you don't agree. And I don't see how the thread offers you anything in return, other than the reinforcement that you like how you do things. I wish the DMG had those 20 words printed on every page. And nothing else. All kidding aside, if gaming were that easy, then no one would ever sell a single advice book or GM Aid. It's a wonderful ideal, but it's also naive to think that everyone games like you and that people aren't looking for a way to change an aspect of their play experience. And it's kind of arrogant to assume that someone can't benefit from this kind of thread. [/QUOTE]
