[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9618342, member: 6684958"] It will depend on the person: Person one can look at a large number of options and pick one from that huge list. Person two likes only picking from a small list that does not have too much on it to pick from. Game reality or 'make believe', the words here don't matter. Wait, was it not once a day? Or are you saying the game limits each Game Session to One Day. Like if the PCs go to sleep does it end the game session? It seems odd to mix up the "Yes Player" rules with more traditional ways. And do you not see your cop out and lie is wrong? Your showing pure favoritism to one player, and hiding behind the rules. Many players get into RPGs for the big ego boost. They love pretending they are "great" or "super" or whatever. They want simple, casual easy button games with a DM that is their buddy, fan and rolls out the red carpet for them. And such DMs are common enough. Such a player is hostile to any DM not like the above. Such players verbally attack the DM often as they whine and complain and cry about nearly everything the DM does. They listen to the descriptions I give, look at the map(s) and look at the pictures. There are a lot of ways a player can role play acting to find a secret door or even try to use the dull rules. Well, sure most of my good players do, though my good players are very intelligent, wise and deep. A great many of them I have mentored and help grow up. And most of my good players agree with me on many things, at least in general. So most of them know full well it's a railroad and are enjoying the ride. When a player is having tons of fun they don't look for games that look a lot less fun, but sure some of them play lots of other games. Some of them have fun casually playing 'Dull Dice' games, where they walk into a room and roll vs a DC 10 to search. [/QUOTE]
