[QUOTE="Asisreo, post: 9007502, member: 7019027"] Put their foot down? Yeah, its well within their right not just as a DM but as a person. If the DM doesn't want to play the type of game the players do and don't feel like compromising, that's it for the game. Maybe another DM can fulfill that role, but it won't be the same game.

Its being afraid that the DM is intentionally biased or hostile to your character/class/race/etc. That's a real anxiety players can feel, especially when they aren't very familiar with the DM.
