[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1620200, member: 158"] CHECK HIM IMMEDIATELY; he's probably cheating at his dice rolls and looking to cover the fact up by accusing you. :D Seriously, if someone seriously told you that, they obviously don't understand the true goal of a DM. A DM's true goal is not to write complex adventures, or be perfectly prepared, or be a flawless automaton. [I]A DM's Goal is to challenge and entertain the other players.[/I] By whatever legal means necessary. You could probably take out the "challenge" part, but to me, the main thing that fosters entertainment is pushing the players a little, and making victory uncertain. If the players have to work a little bit (combat strategy, puzzle-solving, roleplay) to attain a goal, they are happier when they DO attain that goal. So, your job is to challenge, and entertain. If a module can help you do that, if a TV show, if a movie, if a freakin' PUZZLE ON THE BACK OF A CEREAL BOX will assist you in this task, then more power to you. *Sniff* OBVIOUSLY a Warhammer Elitist. :) [/QUOTE]
