Alright, so this was supposed to be a poll, but apparently I'm stupid with computers and didn't notice I posted it while checking the poll thing etc. Anyway.
In a recent thread I started, (this one http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...think-Strahd-isn-t-actually-so-bad-(Spoilers)) I got a number of comments on my situation saying I had miscalibrated the adventure we were going to play to my group.
Which got me thinking: I myself, although I prefer to DM heroic fantasy/good guy campaigns, thoroughly enjoyed my run as a CN swordsman pirate that literally had no problems with randomly killing strangers to leave messages pinned to their bodies. And the only other slightly lengthy campaign I've been playing is ToA (still in progress, no spoilers pls), but I've had to cycle through so many PCs I just gave up and reverted to killing everything in sight there too since coming up with a different personality every other session is too much of a hassle.
Anyway, what I'm saying is: do you think there's a correlation between the types of games people like to DM and play? Do heroic fantasy DM enjoy playing evil PCs (which kind of makes sense if you think about it) Do evil scheming DMs like playing Lawful Good Paladins when they get to be on the other side of the screen? Is there no correlation? I dunno.
But I thought it would be fun to share. (And I wanted this to be a poll, but oh well).
