[QUOTE="Woas, post: 3965537, member: 16317"] Doesn't it feel great? This mode of game "setup" and play is something I've just recently adopted myself in the past 4-6 months. I used to bang my head on the keyboard/desk trying to think of stories/plots/adventures that all seemed even remotely logical and somehow "involved" the players and their characters. But it was always an upward losing battle. Then after experimenting with games other than D&D it really opened my mind and I turned to whole process around. And it's great! I have such an easier time prepping for a game both session-to-session and overarching idea-wise now that I've let the players drive the boat and pretty much tell me what they want to do. It's a hard habit to brake. I know I was one of "those" DMs that used to sit down and draw maps of continents and worlds and histories and did NOT want the players mess'n it all up! But no more. Plus I just don't have the time for it anymore. Letting the players "make" the game took so much weight off of my shoulders and freed my prep-time up. So I say good for you Ryan. [/QUOTE]
