[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 3116512, member: 177"] Well, to borrow a much-used phrase: No plan survives contact with reality. How many of us are able to make a plan in life, and execute it exactly, with little variance? How many of us are working in the career we planned to? In the job we hoped for? How often does a business plan go without a hitch? Certainly, there's good ways to use the flexibility, and bad ways (at least, for any given group). And I am sorry you got the short end of the stick in the past. But don't let that put you off the idea in general. Well, to be fair, we here may not be a particular representative sample of gamers. It may be that a great many DMs out there homebrew, and don't do it as well as we portray it here, or that some of the common facets of homebrew worlds really aren't for you. My players like my game. But maybe you wouldn't. And that's okay. [/QUOTE]
