[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9210094, member: 6801845"] I just think there's a difference between a DM that makes the best decisions they can and DMs doing it because of ego or control reasons. For example I will never run a game wit evil PCs because that game wouldn't be fun for me. In the same way, I wouldn't want to run a game centered around domains because I likely wouldn't do a very good job with it. Claiming that people do something because of ego, because they can't stand players being actually able to do things, is attributing their decisions to just about of the worst motivation possible. I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're just making the best decision possible to make the game fun for everyone at the table, including running a game they'll enjoy. Maybe it's just a pet peeve but attributing DMs making a decision to restrict or not allow something to "ego" or wanting control of the game is a reason given far too often. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
