I have a clear vision of what this world is like, where the conflicts are, and where the characters fit into the grand scheme of things.  And yet, if a player comes up to me with something new, I will try to accomidate them if I can.  Doing anything less is a disservice to the players.  The DM is not an author writing a book, all by himself.  The DM is part of a group coming together for a string of enjoyable evenings.</blockquote>
