[QUOTE="Arcane Runes Press, post: 74013, member: 402"] My 2 cents: I'm going to agree with the dastardly Dr. Midnight, rapscallion tyrant that he is. Yes, the game is for everyones enjoyment. From what I have seen of the original poster's statements, the others in the group seem okay with the DM's decision. Look at it from his perspective. He seems to think he's onto a real ripping good idea. The others in the group seem keen to play along. Maybe he doesn't think he should have to change for you. It's the old "tyranny of the majority." Why should HE be the one to bend, when there is apparently just one disenting voice. I don't think he means to hurt your feelings. You have the option of not playing. You can come in the next time around. I've done this in the past, in gaming and otherwise, when groups of friends were keen on something I had no interest in. Sometimes it's the best way to not spoil their fun with your own lack of enthusiasm. My suggestion (which seems to be what your doing already): Play the game. It's a chance for you to try something you have never done before. If you get into it, bully for you. If you honestly don't like it, make suggestions. Your opinions will have more oomph if they are backed by a few sessions of giving it a sporting chance. If things don't change to your satisfaction, pull out of the game and say you'll come back next campaign. Anyway, good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
