[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8842465, member: 20741"] Alternatively? Just say "[B][COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]no[/COLOR][/B]". I say "no" all the time. I have no shortage of players, or campaigns. "No" works just fine. However, I don't say "no" just to [I]say[/I] "no". I often do so because the campaign I want to run is something I do not want to be defined by the name of the Adventure -- but principally by the nature of the PC party and who they are. Thematic approches to the PC party [I]makes the adventure about the PCs[/I], not about the lands they are in, the foes they will face, or who the BBEG is. That may be the book I have bought, but it isn't the campaign I plan to run. That's something entirely different. This approach to a campaign works. It works [I][B]very well [/B][/I]when you take the time and effort to bring it all together. So "no" is about [B][COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)]YES[/COLOR][/B] to the narrative theme you are trying to create. In order to have that sort of narrative theme shine through, you need player buy in.
