[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7920960, member: 7015476"] a better way to put it is this and i think this is honestly pretty close to the truth. the dm is as important to have as it is to have the one minimum non dm player and the importance of the dm rises by increments that could be applied to a curve the more players you have along a curve as you approach four non dms. the importance of the dm continues to rise the more players you have than four but now at a decreasing curve of incremental increase. a little like a bell curve with a left side as high as the importance of the minimum one non player dm. the curve is not importance of the dm just to reiterate. its the curve of how much the importance of the dm increases PER PLAYER. generally regardless of player quantities the dm is not more important than all players combined. its always a minimum of being as important as a player (only the case at the minimum one non dm player plot point) and always less important than the group combined. BUT at certain quantities it is almost as important as all players combined. and it is certainly always significantly more important than any one single player except at the one non dm player minimum.
