[QUOTE="Chriskaballa, post: 249096, member: 2074"] NOTE: The following is NOT to be taken too lightly. This is a serious problem and I would like to address it in the same manner as the founders of Bothered About Disposable Dragons did. Yes, all of us DMs have done it at one time or another. We've given out too much stuff, or we've fudged the dice more than necessary. We're known as crowd pleasers, softies, whatever suits the peanut gallery. We do what we can, whn we can, just to please. We are afraid to see PCs die, or in my case, even see them get injured (though my case is a rare, and long-winded, exception). We are the Weak Willed DMs. Let us band together, my brothers and sisters. Let us come together and be strong, for we shall attempt to overcome our weakness and become the great DMs we, and maybe our players, have wanted us to be. By becoming a member of WWDA, you acknowledge that one or more of the following is true: 1) You have made special concessions for a PC or player just so they would stay in the group.' 2) You have given out an overpowered item, power, etc., and not taken it away and do not plan to, just because the PC is enjoying it. 3) You have ever cried because of something that happened in-game. 4) Your players have been able to persuade you to do something that you later regretted, but still follwed through with and kept it anyway, just because you are a crowd-pleaser. (See #1 and #2.) 5) You have refused to use Rule 0. 6)You have overcome being a weak-willed DM and would like to offer your help to those poor, unfortunate DMs in need. Other reasons for joining WWDA will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Come together and join WWDA if you have been known to have a weak will or if you are an experienced DM who is willing to offer help and advice. WWDA- Weak Willed DMs Anonymous. Striving to Please PCs Around the World While Still Maintaining Game Integrity, One Group at a Time! ~Chris [/QUOTE]
