[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 2754975, member: 307"] Playing in your campaign would be pure tedium for me. Standing in the splotlight is only fun if you put yourself there. Having a DM prop you up by fiat is just boring. If you run a race and come in fourth, but I decide by fiat that you should get the first place medal, how much fun is that? How rewarded do you feel getting an accolade you don't really deserve? How much fun is it for characters to get into the spotlight when they know the DM made sure things worked out that way? [i] Yes, it is what he is doing. And it is tedious. Much of the fun of OotS is the choices made by the members of the party - both smart and stupid. Railroading them takes that away from the strip, much to its detriment. Unless this "railroaded by Miko" tangent ends quickly, the strip will lose much of what makes it interesting.[/i] [/QUOTE]
