[QUOTE="Adso, post: 4501903, member: 6706"] I can’t speak for others, but when I write my columns, it’s all about explaining what works for me and other DMs I know and chat with. I write about it in a definite manner, because I am a believer in writing with a strong voice, not to squash or drone out other opinions or methods. DMing, like any skill or art, usually starts with a suggestion or guidance, and then moves on to wisdom forged through practice. Then, when you have wisdom, you spread it by explaining your thoughts, ideas, and experiences to others. People find guidance in those explanations and stories, build upon it with their own experiences, and the cycle repeats. I don’t write my columns to be the end-all-be-all of what you should do as a DM, but to help new or frustrated DMs, and to move forward the conversation. That conversation is important, and I'm glad it is going on here and elsewhere. I think most the folks offering up suggestions and counterpoints here on points in my column or the follow-up conversations probably feel the same way. [/QUOTE]
