[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 3821706, member: 3192"] Why have you submitted to playing D&D all all this time? Don't play DM-driven games. See just previous... I'd say Hong does this better than you, but, really? Where is your rebuttal? Something that has no representation in the world means one must take themselves out of character to "game the system". It's simply bad design for games meant to involve roleplaying. No. Is that D&D's new customer base? [u]Reading the mind of the GM[/u] - When the GM decides no consistency of rules are required to run his world/character. In fact, no rules are necessary whatsoever as coherency is not part of the game. What results is never predictable by anyone, probably not even by the GM. How incredibly frustrating a game would that be? It would be like trying to understand our own Earth, but to have absolutely nothing rationally discernible about it. Roleplaying added rules for the GM role; one might even say they were added SPECIFICALLY for GMs to have an understandable, consistent world. Regardless, all rules are entirely within the province of the DM. They are his character to play. [/QUOTE]
