[QUOTE="Blackwind, post: 3399338, member: 1205"] Yeah. As a player, I have to admit that I appreciate at least relative freedom to have my character do as he or she wishes. I dislike extensive railroading and "epic plots" that my character is not really invested in. I do like there to be plot hooks, especially if they are custom tailored to my character. And I also like there to be an established setting that I can use as a jumping-off point for character creation. As a DM, my favorite aspect of the game is world-building. I'm not quite as good at writing plots; what I like to do is watch the PCs explore and interact with the world I have created. So really, I would be the perfect DM for myself. I've played in some decent campaigns over the years, but never found a DM who runs games the way I would like them to be run. And that's why I end up DMing most of the time -- sometimes I just wish I could play in my own campaign. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
