But as I was having fun I wanted to know what might happen if I start a game with my older group without giving the players power to go into the GM area of authority. I play very casualy and people from different gaming backgrounds are quite pleased with the games I run but oh boy did this encounter made me feel like I was in a twilight zone. So I met with the players one on one to ask them if they want to play a Pathfinder Module to test it. I had some extra cash so I asked them to choose a starting level and ask me if I agree.  We were going to play the Harrowing a 9th level adventure which can hapen just anywere. The players gave me their sheets online and everything went smooth, even too smooth if I recall other games that I played with them.After a day before the adventure I was asked about how death will be treated. I replyed that If the die they can seek resurection but hopefully it won't happen, and here is where this started. -But you want to continue the story don't you? Why not introduce a load mechanic, you dont play 100- hour rpgs without it don't you?-Sorry but I will not change this game from rpg to a scenario where there is no challenge and I just reade what you give me. My decision is final, if you die and cannot be resurrected we can start another adventure of higher level if you like.And here is the point where Ms. Ayn came into play. One of the players read 'Atlas Shrugged' and braded me a hedonistic DM who enjoys the game on their cost. They all left the conversation room telling me to change my style because only hardcore gamers might considere playing with me at this point.I didn't read Atlas but I get the point a little bit about hedonism-bad, egoistic-good but this just confused me. Can someone translate what just happend because I still don't know what was their point.</blockquote>
