When a DM wants to run a campaign, I generally expect that DM to take some interest in the story and setting. If they can't even be bothered to pick a campaign setting, then we're probably off to a bad start.A scifi campaign that I played in once ended mere minutes after it started, because of a similar reason. Our DM had decided on a basic setting, but he had not decided on anything else. Our characters arrived at a planet. Our DM had clearly not yet decided what planet it was going to be, so he randomly picked one from a book. We arrived on a spaceport, and he didn't know what the port was called, nor what the name was of the first character we met. And that is when we ended the campaign immediately.Now, this was a first time DM, who was clearly not prepared to run even the most basic adventure. And to some degree I can be forgiving of first time mistakes. But the fact that he didn't even bother to prepare some basic names for a planet and a location, was enough to never have him be a DM again. He didn't even try. If the DM doesn't care where our characters are, then why should we care?</blockquote>
