[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4647403, member: 48965"] I think your overgeneralizing and working from alot of assumptions here. I personally think there are alot of players who want to explore and interact with the DM's vision. In fact I have been this player, probably for he simple fact that I DM majority of the time and rarely get to indulge in this aspect of the hobby. If this means giving up a little control over things to see if the DM's vision is more enjoyable with these caveats...I don't usually have a problem with that, especially if he's upfront about it. No one is forcing me to play in his game, plain and simple. In the case of this particular example I don't know the rest of the group so I can't specifically judge. Perhaps the name really isn't that serious of an issue and the DM really is being to anal. Perhaps he's trying to run a gothic horror campaign and knows one of his players can't help but make side jokes and comments thus he feels in limiting the silly names he is limiting that players chances to break the mood for everyone, in this case it seems worth it IMO. In the end I feel you should trust the DM to do what he feels is best to give you the best in-game experience in the parameters he has set down. It's funny how a DM can be trusted to make all the judgement calls in a game... but not that a certain element shouldn't be a part of the campaign... just saying. [/QUOTE]
