[QUOTE="mcrow, post: 3038397, member: 29117"] I don't know. I most games I haev played in the GM says " Ok, so heres my idea for the next game" and we most of the time endup responding with "cool, lets do it" The GM bounces the basic plot off of us, we either agree that it sounds good or ask for something else. So we basically , as players, buy into the GMs plot and play within that plot for the most part. I guess in effect that is railroading, but we do it to ourselves and like it. :p too me if you are not going to buy into the GMs plot you will ruin the game for yourself. Thats not to say the Gm shouldn;t find out what the players want ahead of time, cuz he or she should. Of course it is a bad thing if the GM reduces the game to a story hour or doesn't let you interact with the gaming world unless it is on his terms. [/QUOTE]
